Melco – copy speed – glacier-like slow / Your experience?

[Lorenz]

Hi everyone,

love my Melco (N1ZH60/2)– even better now with the implementation of MinimServer (still at 3.9x – awaiting EX upgrade from the mothership).

One thing that drives me nuts: copy speed. It is glacier-like slow :-(.

I have a super fast Ethernet-only network. Copying the very same 500GB of Music takes approximately 10x (that's TEN-TIMES) the hours compared to the same copy procedure towards other destinations.

I have teste this from two different Macs (2017 MacBook Pro, 2019 Mac mini) – towards the Mac mini, a Roon Nucleus, a Synology DS-718 and a Qnap HS-251. All will take around 2 hours to receive 500GB. Also have an Naim Unit Core which takes double the time (which ist still acceptable).

The Melco will use around 24 hours for that 500GB chunk – super annoying.

Any idea what goes wrong? Any insight appreciated? Also any copy speeds from you guys for comparison/reference more than welcome...

Best, Lorenz

PS I talked to Melco on this issue before: answer was sort of we focus only on sound quality not on speed. Can't believe that this is THE answer to my problem...
