Slow NAS file copy - Win 7 vs XP
I have data from an accounting program that I back up from 1 QNAP NAS to a Buffalo NAS every day. The files total 167MB.
If I use a Windows XP computer on the network (24 port Gigabit switch ) all computer have Gigabit, the copying will be finished in about 2 minutes.
If I use Windows XP mode on a Win 7 machine the same copy takes about the same time.
If I use Win 7, it will take about 2 - 3 mins to calculate the copy and then about 2 mins to do the copy.
Is there some way to make Win 7 behave the same way as Win XP and do the copying without the calculating.
If this topic has already been covered, can some kind soul please direct me to the correct thread.
I like Windows 7 in all respects, but it seems to be very slow in network file copying compared to XP or other previous versions of Windows.
