Yvon,
By the sounds of it, the firmware upgrade makes things a little more stable, but there are no claims as to improved transfer speeds.
What is the theoretical maximum performance of the N299, based on hardware limitations?
Where is the bottleneck? Is it that the box has a CPU that underperforms? Does it not have enough/any RAM? Why is it that gigabit network ports are provided if the unit is not capable of transferring data anywhere near that fast?
Will a firmware upgrade ever be provided that can dramatically improve the performance of the N299, or are the reported transfer speeds around the maximum that can be achieved with this unit?
Is it possible to install a faster processor or additional RAM to improve performance?
I find it very misleading and even untruthful to claim that (and I quote this from your web site at
Thecus Products) "two Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure speedy access to stored data".
Is anything being done to satisfy customers complaining of poor performance?
Thanks for your help,
Mark.
