If using the Qnap NAS systems with a gigabit switch supporting jumbo frames you will obtain around 15-16MB/sec. By activating jumbo frames on the NAS & your network card you can achieve the specified maximum of 32MB/sec download fromthe NAS.


Qnap says the following in the manual:



1) Activating jumbo frames in your network card
In Microsoft Windows, right-click the Network Adapter in Network Connections, and then click Properties.
Click the Configure button and then the General tab. Jumbo MTU is set at 1500 bytes by default. I suggest using 9000 and reducing the value in case of problems.



2) Activating jumbo frames in the NAS
Open the NAs web interface, go to TCP/IP properties, activate jumbo frames with a frame size of 9000 and apply.

3) Optional: Activating jumbo frames in the switch
Most switches in home environments use 9kb frames as a standard. However you can go higher sometimes, especially with managed switches:

My TS-109 spun down correctly but i had it waking up every 20-30 minutes without accessing it at all.

I found out that the netbios service accessed the network names every once in a while and caused the ts-109 to spin up.

To avoid this happening i deactivated netbios. There are two ways to do this. You can either click on your lan connection’s properties, tcp/ip tab, advanced, wins: deactivate netbios or do it by disabling the netbios helper service at all, which is what i recommend. Be aware however that you loose simple name resolution in your network, you can access your devices by IP only afterwards. You can put entries manually into your hosts file again, but this can sometimes lead to trouble with reverse lookup and java scripts working name based.


Those are the steps to a eversleeping TS-109:

1) Right-click Computer, manage

2) Go to services, search tcpip-netbios helper service, doubleclick, set to ‘deactivate’, ok, click ‘stop’, ok

Your NAS should be spun down much more often and more reliable now. Leave your comments if you still face troubles!

Update 2007/10/11

With firmware v1.1.2 QNAP has added full support for WinSCP, which means no strange error messages and additional commands. There are no problems transfering files to or from a local PC or moving files around the NAS itsself.

Furthermore, to always start in the same directory add the following:

Nighty

This will explain the steps to using WinSCP to move files around the shares in the Qnap NAS TS-109, but will surely also work on the TS-109 pro, TS-209 and TS-209 pro.

Currently if moving files from the share /QDownload to /Public the files are first transfered to your PC, then back to the NAS. If using wireless networks for this it can really take a long time…


1) Activate remote login on the NAS and adjust port.

In case you want to connect to the NAS from outside your LAN i would suggest moving the port away from port 22 to anything above port 10000, as a example i used 40022. Make sure the check is set to active.

2) Download WinSCP ->here<-

3) WinSCP session

Start WinSCP and click on ‘stored sessions’, ‘new’. Enter the IP of your NAS, the internal one if you are inside your LAN, the external one if connecting from outside and the port forwarding set correctly in your router. Enter the port you use, ‘admin’ as a user and your admin password, click on ‘save’

4) Browse the shares

The shares are located at /share/HDA-DATA:

5) Moving a file

Right-click a file or directory, click ‘move to’

Select your wished destination:
