Hello everyone -
I just bought a Linksys NSLU2 and attached a 500GB WD MyBook drive to it. I formatted it as ext3.
Writing to it via my Windows XP SP2 box is about what I would expect: 1.3GB folder in a little less than 10min.
Writing to it via either my C2D Macbook or G4 Mac Mini is driving me crazy!!! Super Duper! reports a speed of 0.4MB/sec!!! I've also tried using iBackup and just copying a large file to the drive using Finder without better results.
What would cause the drive being mounted on my Macs to be so much slower over the network than my Windows box???
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated before I kick the NSLU2 across the room and then return it to the store!!!
