So I bought around a month ago MyCloud Home Duo. Apart from the great look of this box, the transfer speeds are absolutely ridiculous. Am trying to transfer around 7GB of pictures which would take 8 HOURS according to MacOS Sierra.
This is just unacceptable for such an expansive device, which is supposedly able to take advantage of gigabit transfer speeds and I cannot see why I am getting this kind of speed. I live in a big city where my internet connection is good ( 120mbits / 20mbits ).
Everything is connected via gigabit ethernet. To a gigabit ethernet router as well.
Same issue here. It claims 11 days to transfer 2Tb. In addition this cable-connected device stops my Wifi NEST thermostat working, so the heating goes off.
I have a Mybook Live and a MyCloud Home NAS drives sitting beside each other, plugged into the router. The Live gets 30MB/s transfer while the Cloud Home maxes out at 1.2MB/sec transferring from the same computer on the same router. The Router is a Linksys Model:EA8300.
I tried switching the LAN cables between the two devices, leaving them plugged into the router with no change in speed.
The MyBook Live is older and I have replaced the drive in it due to failure of the disk. The SLOW CLOUD Device is a few months old and has never performed well.
Is this product defective or just really bad design?
