My MyCload 4TB Storage is extremely slow when I added or deleted files or when I rename a directory.
Everything is slow then. I have to wait more than 10 seconds before a directory listing is shown in Windows Explorer. Copying a new file of 3 Mb takes over 15 seconds. Also the WD Cloud Dashboard in Firefox is slow.
DLNA-mediaserver is off. iTunes-server is also switched off.
But the harddisk of the MyCloud device is working very hard… No idea what it is doing. Rebuilding the file-index???
Thanks Etupes. I downgraded the firmware, but it didn’t help
When I navigate to a directory, it sometimes still takes more than 28 seconds (!) to display the contents of that directory. The dashboard indicates that MyCloud is not busy scanning the harddisk or something else… BUT the harddisk is still working very hard, doing …???
Wait no, the firmware you have is fine, it is the v3 firmware. Do not upgrade to v4. If you have just downgraded, let the NAS redo its scanning, thumbnailing and indexing for a while. Then reevaluate your speed.
