Umm…and there’s plenty of people for whom it is NOT slow at all.

And many of the folks complaining about slowness issues are doing so while using wi-fi. I have seen countless such posts in my 8 months of using this forum.

Sure there are better perfoming NASes out there but they also cost hundreds of dollars more…and often do not offer the full firmware source code for advanced users to customize and compile (I know - I also have a QNAP).
