(Don’t worry.)
So you’re saying you don’t really use the 1TB hard drive for much. Hmm. I’m growing more dissatisfied with this device day by day.
Is there any chance that, clock speed to one side, WD could improve the firmware to speed up transfers?
I’m in the process of running Intel’s NASPT tool - it’s writing and reading about 5GB across the network. At the moment it is showing the following high-level results (wait, it just finished as I was typing this, here are the full results… which shows that my back-of-an-envelope maths in my earlier post was wrong)

Those two “CopyToNAS” tests are considerably slower than the rest. I guess that’s the issue right there.
