AirPort Extreme AC router hard drive access SLOW
Just bought a new AC AirPort Extreme router. I can stream 1080p movies from the Internet no problem, but read/write/delete from hard drive attached to the AirPort is SLOW.
- 45min to delete 4 files. (this is ridiculous)
- up to five min to see contents of clicked folder. (sometimes it never shows you the contents)
- from the same MBPro I can get 20Mbps downloads on the Internet, not a network issue.
- I see the same slowness on a windows 7 machine connected to the AEP on a gigabit LAN connection.
- On occasion the AEP just gives up and reboots while trying to accessing a hard drive. Otherwise rock solid performance.
I have 2 self powered USB HDD's (Western Digital, Toshiba) attached via powered USB hub (Belkin).
Hardware specs:
2010 MBP - CPU i7 2.66GHz - 8GB Ram - OS X 10.8.5
2013 AEP version 7.7.1
Toshiba USB HDD 750 GB (Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
Western Digital USB HDD 1 TB (Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
Why would it be so slow? (oddly, removing the Toshiba drive helps, but a little)
