Comments on: Pogoplug’s New Speed Boost http://www.pogoplug.com/blog/pogoplugs-new-speed-boost-108/ The official Pogoplug blog Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:52:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: B http://www.pogoplug.com/blog/pogoplugs-new-speed-boost-108/comment-page-1/#comment-1073 B Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:23:11 +0000 http://www.pogoplug.com/blog/pogoplugs-new-speed-boost-108/#comment-1073 Update to that first comment above: I'm now getting transfer speeds of up to 1.2MB/sec (problem fixed). The problem *may* have been that the pogoplug was mistakenly routing through the internet, and using the web interface for the first time (after a de-register/register cycle on the pogoplug) fixed the problem for me. After registering the pogoplug and setting it up, I had used the desktop software exclusively without ever trying any transfers over the web interface...but it may be the case that you must use the web interface at least once to bonk the pogoplug in the head so that it'll treat local-to-local file transfers appropriately. See this thread for details: http://www.pogoplugged.com/forum/thread/11706/Pogoplug-seems-very-very-slow-to-me.-What-transfer-speeds-are-you-guys-getting/ Update to that first comment above:

But I'm getting download speeds (off the pogoplug) of about 190KB per second (it takes 1 hour to download a 700MB file in my tests). That's with the pogoplug and my computer connected to the same local network, being routed by an N router. It's too painfully slow to do any meaningful file transfer with the pogoplug. Samba transfer speeds between two computers on my network are fast (as expected), but download speeds off the pogoplug are slow for some reason. Is it possible that the pogoplug is mistakenly uploading the files through the internet and then back into my network rather than keeping it all in my local network? Anyone else have the same problems? I definitely did notice faster upload speeds, thanks for the improvement!

Saying that it is xx faster, doesn't help, if we don't know what you are comparing it to and what the actually time transfer speed is. Thanks, Rich Can you publish the times that you tested?

I want to make sure I'm making the most of performance! Thanks. Do you have any stats on how NTFS compares to EXT3 performance-wise on the pogoplug?
