This is my NAS hardware specs:
Pentium 4 2Ghz
2GB Ram DDR2
Sata I connection 1.5Gb/s
Disks are mounted individually as NTFS disks
I got 17MB/s when write to Samba share and 27MB/s when read from it.
Is it the expected speed ?
Thanks so much for your help !!!

Re: What should be my expected Samba Service performance
well that system is woefully under powered.
it is even slower than the via c7 processors that some posts ago someone had performance problems.
its power consumption is very bad for the delivered performance.
but the more important point. you should not use NTFS as a filesystem in nas4free.
the idea is that you connect a ntfs drive once to copy the data of it. it is not meant for normal operation and can cause serious data corruption when writing to it.
