Keerti,
Thanks for your article, I appreciate.
Yes , I am syncing photos which means lot a little files.
no, not doing lot of things. only one sync, anti-virus disabled, no plex or social media sync.

first synch is now done. less than 100GB per day. now I am monitoring continous sync. I have 3 wdsync process eating 60 to 100% of cpu ans a kdd process copying files. this is too much for me. I will change my mind how to use this box. no continuous synch but more as file repository and external tools like robocopy to synch.

Thanks for your help

The subject has been discussed extensively and there are two file systems on the My Cloud Home with speeds that can differ by 100 folds. Perhaps a simple search of this subforum will be helpful:
