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

[Peter@57m]

I borrowed a Roon Server and was trying to copy several hundred GB to it but it was running horribly slowly. I asked the dealer who said it should be quick. Couldn’t figure out what was going wrong.

Eventually tried using a different Cat cable - suddenly it was quick.

Appears the previous Ethernet cable was faulty, it worked but obviously only just. Never come across this before, Ethernet cables either worked or didn’t.

So if you haven’t done so already - try a different cable.
