How are you mapping the drive in  Explorer?
What is the format of the USB drive? NTFS?

hello

i have same problem ,  read are ok , but write block at 7Mo/s .
just a fun , during transfert if i change "QoS" write up at ix Mo/s during ii-iii sec and return to 7Mo/southward

i think i use amazon render, not a real USB3.0 port

PS: tested ftp, samba, usb two.0, usb 3.0, wifi, ethernet ,  no change

I establish out how to access it. I'll be looking into this. Overall, there seems to be bug with USB drives on the 882.

Windows ten Home
Yes, through Explorer.

Sadly, I've had the same setup with a different manufacturers router and speeds were much college.

Same USB 3.0 Seagate Slim BackupPlus 1.five TB drive every bit well.

read are ok , just write cake at 7Mo/s .
just a fun , during transfert if i change "QoS" write upward at 9 Mo/s during 2-3 sec and return to 7Mo/southward

Questions from D-Link engineer:

What kind of application that customer used for which router characteristic (DLNA, Samba or FTP)?

How did customer mensurate the transfer rate?

Using Wi-Fi or Ethernet? Are they the same speed?

Can you respond to GreenBays question please?

I've had this effect for the last year. No matter what drive is plugged into the USB 3.0 port, the transfer rate is horrible.

I heard it's considering of the lower amount of RAM in the router. Due to that, the transfer rate is throttled for write speed. Not sure how valid that is.

Yet, there are times that I become 27 mb/south only that's once in a blueish moon. Non dependent on who else is on the network.

Tin you reply to GreenBays question please?

Same event, I am using my Spare SSD and upload Speeds are Crap. 1-7Mbps max

Questions from D-Link engineer:

What kind of application that customer used for which router characteristic (DLNA, Samba or FTP)?

How did customer measure the transfer charge per unit?

Using Wi-Fi or Ethernet? Are they the aforementioned speed?

The D-Link engineer should choose his questions better ; there is no "write" speed which tin can exist tested with DLNA as it's only read activity by a DLNA customer from a DLNA server ( router in our case )
OTOH using both Samba shares and FTP access the write speed from a customer to the router's USB drive is capped at ~seven MB/s most of the time ( in very occasional  situations for very brief periods of time I get ~27 MB/southward with the same 2 USB HDDs I perform all tests , both of them USB powered exclusively ) ; considering the low write speed neither Eth or wireless connectedness makes a deviation ; also the type of client ( Windows or Linux ) doesn't make any difference . In my case speed was assessed just by copying large files to and from the USB bulldoze attached to the router .
The read speed is however satisfactory @ ~45 MB/s .
At get-go I assumed the poor performance was due to lower ability supplied ( than the USB spec ) but as others are experiencing the same write speeds with self powered drives this is probably incorrect .

Thanks furry.

I replied dorsum to the D-Rail (ticket) with everyone's information. Seems like the write speed is capping at 7MB/south and get bursts at 27MB/s. Sounds like a limitation merely they will check with the vendor.

Remember the router is not going to be as powerful as a PC or dedicated NAS. The router has to process a lot and I am bold the USB ports are depression priority. The router has to inspect incoming/outgoing traffic, routing, NAT, encryption, WIFI, Ethernet, rules, etc. So it could be a lack of retentivity/processing power that is slowing it down.

I wonder if connecting one PC to the router without internet or annihilation else connected with smart connect off if "write" speeds would be better.  If non sounds like a chipset/firmware limitation.

FYI, my DIR-882 was off line from the ISP modem and was just the ane PC and the USB drive when I did my speed tests. So the system was not really under whatever load.

I heard it's because of the lower amount of RAM in the router. Due to that, the transfer rate is throttled for write speed. Non certain how valid that is.

However, there are times that I get 27 mb/southward simply that's in one case in a blue moon. Non dependent on who else is on the network.

Samba
Looked at the File Explorer file copy screen which indicated the speeds.

WIreless, on v Ghz band, twenty feet away and tested close up also, I think 5 feet abroad.

I heard from reviews that performance bug could be traced dorsum to the depression amount of retention in the router.

And what are your wired speeds like?

D-Link HQ has replicated the consequence and take sent information technology to the vendor/engineers to run across if this is a flake limitation or something fixable with firmware. I exercise not look a response back until later Chinese new year (they are off piece of work 1/23-1/29).
