WD MyCloud very slow access

Dear sirs When I bought the MyCloud device 3TB, I had already experience with different WD MyBook devices. The problem is, that we are not able to really work successfully with new MyCloud device. Once the transfer has started it is fast. For huge files up to 45MB/s which is amazing cool. But from click to start the copy until it really start it takes some times up to 20 seconds (for one single file).In case of this extreme slow access time, we switched off ALL services. Cloud service is off, Media streaming is off, backup is off, trash-service is off, ... One extreme performance impact is for example one Security camera folder filled with10 subfolders filled with 5'000 JPG pictures each. To simple access them to make a preview it takes 3 days. On local HDD it takes about 1 minute.We have tested now on Windows XP / Windows 7 / Windows 8.1 at about 6 different computers.  The main problem is our daily "office file access" which went down extrem slow since we moved to the cloud.  Here are my settings and CPU load in a short videohttp://youtu.be/aR6epWKnYT8  Please advice 

The IP is already static set by Router. Additional I have tried with static IP. But WD Cloud has not fixed anything that way. CPU is still enormous at load without any reason too.

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,

  • Link aggregated between NAS and a switch: the Mac as a very slow access...

    Hello,
    in my Office we're working with Macs and PCs and all the data is on a NAS.
    Here is our configuration:
    NAS <-link1->Switch<-Link2->Macs or PC.
    Macs are connected with AFP protocol (because SMB is very slow).
    We want to use Link Aggregation between the NAS and the switch (with 802.3ad procotol) but when we do that all the Macs have a very slow access to the NAS. But all is OK with the PCs.
    What can we do? Is there a problem with macOS X and link aggregation?
    Thank you for your help.
    Nicolas

    Sorry, not sure what the question is exactly.
    You must have an Xserve, or Ethernet cards capable of Jumbo Frames for one, I assume the Switch & NAS are capable?
    Possible clues...

  • Time Capsule and Thunderbolt HDD very slow access via wifi enabled MacBook Air

    I have a Q-RAID thunderbolt external drive attached to the Time Capsule.  I use it to archive movies for viewing via a media server around the house (mostly via WIFI).  Using my MacBook Air to access the files, performance is very spotty.  Sometimes it's very fast (monitoring the "Data Received" via Activity Monitor typically > 3MB/sec) and sometimes it's very very sluggish (Data Received < 200kb/sec).  Any idea?  It's not a home network issue b/c when it's slow, i test it immediately against a networked iMac and i can access large files just fine (Data Received > 2MB/sec).  Thanks.

    I have a Q-RAID thunderbolt external drive attached to the Time Capsule.
    You are killing it.. The connection on the TC is USB2. USB is slow.. slow .. slow interface. It is very CPU intensive.. and depending on what the TC is doing it can slow it down like crazy.. the fact is, the TC was designed to plug in a simple drive.. not a raid array. The access to files in the array .. frankly it is a wonder it works at all. But you should move the Q-RAID to a computer with thunderbolt port and share the disk to the network.. it will go at 10times the speed. or maybe 50times or 100times when you have slow speed. TC is not suitable.

  • Very slow access to NAS causes Finder to crash

    Hello,
    I have a mid-2011 iMac with Yosemite connected to my tp-link router WDR-4300 via WiFi. Everything works fine, internet browsing etc. I bought a Synology ds213air NAS, connected via LAN to the same router. When I access the NAS from the iMac the connection works ok and the streaming speed is also fine if I try to watch some movies stored on the NAS for example, but when it comes to browsing the content of the NAS folders it's a disaster. The browsing is really slow, and often Finder gets stuck and I completely lose control of the iMac (I have to reboot). Reason why I am writing here is because if I access the NAS from Windows everything works perfect. Even worse, the Windows 7 copy that I am using is installed on my Mac using Parallels... So it is not an issue with the WiFi or the network environment, it is purely an issue with the iMac/Yosemite. I have been having exactly the same issue even before Yosemite, with Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion. Everything has the latest Software/Firmware installed. I access the NAS by using afp://<ip address> on the Mac.
    I am out of ideas, would be good if someone experienced the same issue and knows more about this.
    Thanks

    Same problem with a 2014 Macbook Air and a WD 4tb Mybook live duo.  I also have a win 7 basic laptop.
    Don't know if this ill help but it was suggested you need to mount the shares at startup. The problem most have found is that if you just add the share to login items it always opened a finder window.  I also have a windows 7 machine and with my wd live book duo it is lightning fast the new Macbook is like a week week.  This is as far as I have gotten still looking for help and ideas  Apple no help.
    Partially Solved
    Ok my windows 7 machine still accesses all folders (no matter how many levels down the tree) and files extremely fast but with my partial solution below the MacBook with Yosemite is better but still a poor cousin
    After reading a lot of similar questions dating back to 2008 I decided to copy some lines of a script to mount network folders, from that I was able to white cane myself through how scripts work until I came up with the following script
    After writing this in Script Editor I saved as an application into the APPS folder.  From there I dragged it into Users login items.  As a script it seems to work perfectly.  Does it do what we need?
    Mostley.
    I struck a problem copying from one network share to another with a response stopping me saying you don't have permission to do this.  When I looked at get info I wasn't able to get any as I was logged in as a guest and wasn't logged in with privileges to my NAS Drive.
    So I added the login/password to my router (workgroup) before the nas drive name and shared folder name.  This seems to have worked as far as editing and copying files etc.  but when I 'get info' on the mounted drives it still shows custom access and does not allow me to change user access.
    Speed of access. Shares with a mixed of files about a one to three second delay, Photos and music sometimes still up to 20 seconds delay to see files and these delays continue as you click through the lower folders.
    Debatable, now much faster than before and nearly tolerable, but till nowhere near the speed of the windows 7.
    So I am missing something here.  It seems obvious to access a nas drive with yosemite you need to use a script or have some startup configuration code run that suits your network.. This is far beyond my knowledge,  but  really it shouldn't be needed at all if apple had got it right to begin with.
    Anyway over to you with knowledge what am I missing?
    Why is it so damned slow still
    The following script mounts the various shares at startup and has a small delay to allow the wifi to connect before telling finder to mount the network shares, These share mount then because I want to see they have mounted I put in  2 second delay before telling finder to not show connected servers on desktop.
    Change names and password  and number of shares to suit your setup then save as an app and add to user login items
    good luck, hope you do better than me

  • Very slow Access 2002 query with Windows 7

    I need help troubleshooting consistently slow queries in an Access 2002 database with Windows 7.
     I’m running a temporary query in a local copy of a back end database with only tables. The identical query will take just 2-3 seconds with Windows XP but 30-60 seconds with Windows 7. Multiple Windows 7 workstations are all slow and
    all Windows XP machines run the query quickly.  I even used JetShowPlan on both workstations to compare and the plans are identical. Two tables are involved with rushmore used on the first and a full scan on the second table of about 150,000 records.
    Even in XP Mode on the Windows 7 machine the query still takes only about 10 seconds. Anyone have any ideas why Access/Jet on Windows 7 can be so slow? Thanks for any ideas.
    Rick Collard

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks for the pointer - I had found that one earlier and tried it - did not help.  I think the HP ProtectTools Security Manager is Normally loaded
    on Laptops - my problem is on Workstation.  I did a test of 2007 Access in the Virtual XP Mode window - There is works 'normally'. 
    To give you an idea how Slow a query in 2007 access/W7 is;
    I started a search for part numbers with 'busbar' in their description...
       on W7 - Database is LOCAL to WS and upgraded to Office 2007
    I then opened an XP Mode window
    Opened the 2007 Access DB to the 'normal' database located on fileserver.
    enter the same Part search
    counted to 10 - 19 Parts found
    Closed DB
    Closed XP Mode window
    Waited about 2 minutes... same 19 parts found....  Wonderful!
    I will wait till my MS Rep can get me in line for the Hot fix or MS releases it.  Till then I will teach the Users how to Use XP Mode.

  • Ix2-200 VERY slow accessing files via osx 10.10

    ix2-200 running fine. Drives are good. Using latest firmware 2.1.46.30093.
    Can manage via browser just fine.
    Connect to server using smb ipaddr and it mounts up just fine.
    I can open the directory (using osx 10.10.1) with finder just fine, but when I try to access the files within the directory, nothing shows up (I know the files are there) and can hear/see drive activity (blue light flashes). If I wait an hour or so, I can start seeing files. Since this is a laptop, it's not possible to always leave it connected and waiting at least an hour after connecting to it is not acceptable.
    How can this issue be resolved?
    Thanks
    Bill

    Hello morber
    Try connecting to the ix2-200 via AFP instead of SMB/windows file sharing on your Mac.
    Finder> Go> Connect to Server,  there enter the ip address of the unit and proceed.  It should ask which share folders to access and if secured, enter the NAS user account credentials.

  • Lion 10.7.4 slow accessing network folders

    I'm using a networked hard drive to access files. After going to a system with Lion it is very slow accessing some of the folders. Sometimes it can take up to a minute to open a folder with vew few items. After updating to 10.7.4 I'm noticing some folders will not open at all and I have to restart.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this??

  • T500 running very very slow on specific WIFI network only???

    Hi,
    This problem is driving me absolutely crazy. It means that I can only use my PC at home if I use a cable connection to the router....
    Problem is that on my home network my T500 is having a very very slow access to the internet via wireless. On all other wifi network I have connected to there is no issue and speed is high.
    Also several colleagues have been here with their T500 and none of them experience any issues with speed. We all run on the same t500 model, ordered at the same time and with same setup. We use Windows XP.
    I have tried to update all drivers, I have called my network provider who have updated router software, changed frequency and all other things they could do to avoid interference etc.
    I have two other PC's at home - none of them have any issues.
    I have done a web seacrh and could see that I am far from alone with this strange issue of a T500 being slow on only a specific network (often a home network). Many different routers are involved, so I dont think it is  arouter problem (would also mean that my colleagues identical t500s would have issues right??).
    Have there been any reolution to this T500 problem??
    Best regards and with hope of "salvation" :-)

  • Macbook pro mid-2012 13" has very slow disk access

    Until 3 days ago my macbook pro mid-2012 13" running OX 10.8.3 was running fine. Then, it showed very slow response anytime it had to access the hard disk. After doing the usual checks and disk first aid repairs to no avail, I booted from my external disk with an older copy of my hard disk and everything then worked as normal, except when I accessed the internal hard disk, then it crawled once again (spinning beach ball, took many seconds just to open a finder window and then several minutes to display the contents). I ran the Apple Hardware Tests and it said everything was fine, even though it tooks several minutes before the test would actually start. I also ran the program BlackMagic Speed Disk to find out if the disk was having transfer speed problems and it showed a respectible transfer rate (60MB/s), not great but not like the 0.3MB/s I was getting when I tried to back up the internal disk. I was using Carbon Copy Cloner to try to back up the internal disk but had to give up since at 0.3MB/s, it would take days to back up the 250GB on the disk. I found on the web that using "restore" in Disk Utility, I could do a disk copy without the file by file copy which allowed me to back up my disk in "only" 6 hours. Booting from my newly made copy on an external disk worked fine and ran at nearly normal speed (slightly slower since it was an external disk running through USB2). As a final attempt to prove this was a disk problem, I erased the internal disk and reinstalled OSX 10.8. I am still waiting for this install to finish, it has been 5 hours although the progress bar said it should be done in 20 minutes. This was fairly convincing evidence that it is not a software or settings problem. However, all my web searches could find no other case of a problem like mine. I presume I have a failed hard disk but as all the diagnostic programs say it is working fine, I was hesitating to bring it in without hard diagnostic evidence. If anyone knows what might be the problem, it would be much appreciated to hear from you.       

    It should not take 5 hours to install Mac OS X.  There is something wrong with the disk.  Try reformatting where you do a wipe of the drive (an select the option to write zeros which will remap bad sectors).   Then try to install MAc OS X.
    I got this information from here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20064489-263.html
    Back up your data.
    Use Time Machine or a system cloning utility to create a full and restorable backup of your data. If you suspect bad blocks, then when cloning you might consider not using a "block-level" copy process, since this will likely run into problems.
    Boot to the utilities DVD.
    If you have a boot DVD for a tool like Drive Genius or another drive utility, then boot to that; if not, use your OS X installation DVD (once you select your language, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu).
    Format the drive.
    Using your selected utility, format the drive and check for bad blocks. If you are using Disk Utility, click the Erase tab, click the Options button, and then select the option to write zeros to the disk (you do not need to do multipass erase options, as this will provide no additional benefit for managing bad blocks). Writing to zeros may take a couple of hours depending on the size of the drive, but when done the drive will have remapped any blocks that were not reliably read.
    Restore the OS installation.
    If you have used Time Machine to create your backup, boot to your OS X installation DVD (if you are not using Disk Utility) and use the option in the Utilities menu to restore from backup. Attach your Time Machine drive and then proceed with the restoration, selecting the newest backup as the one to restore to your system. If you have used a system cloning tool, then attach the cloned drive and boot off of it (hold the Option key at start-up to select it from the boot menu). When you are booted to the cloned drive, run your cloning utility to copy the installation back to the computer's main boot drive.An optional approach here is to perform a full reinstallation of the OS from your installation DVD, and then migrate your data, applications, and settings from either the clone or the Time Machine backups using Apple's Migration Assistant.

    Thanks for the help
    I started on the installation CD OS X 10.4.2, I used Disk Utility

  • Very slow internet access..... - interesting issue !

    I have 3 computers at home: PC XP, PC Vista and a new imac 24'' since 4 weeks....
    As side comment I'm disappointed in Apple... I expected much more… more issues than Vista seems….
    10.4.11 + Safari 3.0.4 + Firefox.
    Internet on my Mac is very slow. On the same network (wireless with WEP 128) when I enter a new page on my PC and Mac at the same time it take to the Mac approx 5 time more time to display (safari or firefox)…
    On safari I have empty the cash and “reset safari”…still the same….its dam slow for Internet access. I also removed the Wireless encryption but still the same….
    Does somebody have a clue what it could be?

    The DNS is coming from the dsl provider. Very often your router simply gets the dns automatically. With Leopard, I suspect some of the settings are such that things time out before the dns gets through. What I did was look up what the actual IP number of the dsl providers dns was. I added the IP number of the dns provider to my router. So far that seems to have solved my WiFi delays with Leopard (although that could just be a co-incidence).
    Exactly how you add the IP number to a router is router dependent. Mine is a netgear, and you do it through a web page link to the router's IP number (which will be listed in the manufacturer's handbook). Generally something like 192.168.0.1
    Hope that helps.

  • MS-Access query running very slow

    Hi,
    We've MS-Access application which was pointing to UDB. Now we migrated it to point Oracle DB 9.2. After migration some of the query is running very slow.
    These queries used to take less than 30 seconds in UDB now taking more than 5 Minutes in Oracle.
    some more obeservation :
    (1) Some of the queries using "HAVING" clause without any aggregate function. When I moved this condition to "WHERE" clause, performance improved a lot.
    But problem is that I can't suggest this solution to "USERS". They are creating query using "query wizard" in MS-Access and they started creating noise on this.
    (2) I tested same MDB in two different PCs and same query is returning records in 4 seconds in one system, is taking more than 10 minutes in other system.
    Since I'm new to MS-Access, I don't know what other information I need to provide here.
    Please help me out.

  • It's very slow to access file server after installed SP1 of Win7.

    I found it's become very slow to access shared files on file server after installed win7 SP1, (windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe),  access same file, the win7 without sp1 is fast in 5 secs, but the pc with sp1 need more than 30 secs. And
    I tried to removed the sp1, everything goes fine, access fast as others.
    I don't understand what's the reason and which feature affected it, I believe the sp1 can help Win7 be more safety, but why the performance on it get worse.
    And I didn't find the same question or tips on forum or website, do you really haven't the issue?

  • First time network folder access is very very slow...

    Hi,
    On my new Windows 8 box (T500 laptop) I have this annoying problem that first time network folder access is very slow, it can take 30-40 seconds from you click the drive and until it opens. This happens everytime after my laptop has been sleeping and such.
    I can even be connected via MSTSC to that same server - but still explorer first time access is painfully slow. Search index thing? 
    When the drive has been opened the first time I have a blazing fast network access with absolutely no latency at all...
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks. I created 1 mapped folder for a local folder. And 1 mapped folder for my mediacenter (Windows 7). Both of these showed immediately as accessible. But the two mapped folders on my server doesn't. Perhaps this isn't a Windows 8 problem afterall...hm.
    I shall try to replicate the problem from my Windows 7 pc tonight. 
    I installed the network monitor and it shows:
    My Traffic
       System
       Unknown
       Unavailable
    Other Traffic
       Unknown
    Underneath all leafs are a bunch of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes. I guess I should apply a filter where Source or Destination equals my server? And after that - what indicates trouble?
