Super Slow My Cloud Home Speeds

[isaac7437]

Hello,

I ordered a WD 8TB My Cloud Home in February 2021.

Ever since I have got it, file uploads have been really slow! - (See the attached image).

I don’t get why uploading 1GB worth of files will take 2 hours or more!
I have used around 2TB on it so far.

My internet speed okay:

My PC and My Cloud Home is plugged in via Ethernet.

Any ideas on how to improve the speeds as when I’m trying to do a backup of my PC or upload any files, it can take days!

Thanks.

That is about right. The KDDFS private ‘online shareable’ file system is limited to about 2 file copies per second after the initial burst and will take about 4 hours for the 23,937 files you are copying. In order to circumvent the limit, you have to make the file copy appear to be 1 file operation to the WD Discovery (KDDFS) and thereby allowing speeds of 100x faster.

How to increase copy speed to private space >100X for small files, from 0.7 MBps to 76 MBps* updated

The original post on top showed you how to increase copy speed of small files to the shareable ‘Private user’ space from 0.7 to 30 MBps. This post will show you how to increase that from 0.7 to ~76 MBps; even though the progress bar showed 97 MB/s, the final speed measured for the entire operation was about 76 MBps.
