![]() ![]() As Spile mentioned above, given the filesizes I expect your working with, it's going to be the hardware in your PCs and NAS that will likely be having a bigger bearing on the speed, than the software alone, IMHO. Qsync is integrated into the NAS OS software to a degree, so will play nicer with regards resource-sharing than a 3rd-paty app too. Qsync is FAR from perfect, but it does, in the main, just work. ![]() You could switch to a different system, like something based on Rsync for example, but I would only go down that route if your not satisfied with Qsync's feature set, not because of it's overall speed as your unlikely to gain a significant improvement regardless of whichever 3rd-party software you use. Also, the bigger the target filesize, the longer it will take to analyze the source and destination and make the nessecary changes. Then factor in the fact hashing in and of itself is computationally expensive, and that your transferring files between systems over the weakest link (the local network), this ought to give you some insight into the reason why you're experiencing delays in syncs completing. This is achieved by hashing the files and then making the required changes. The inherent problem with *all* sync tools is that it has to compare changes with existing data before deciding whether to make changes. Thanks in advance and apologies for the vague noobness of the question 2012 server is supposed to have better performance that 2008. Robocopy doesn't help much, DFS still has to do a comparison of the files to be sure they match. Is this a terrible idea? Am I missing something? Have I set something up wrong? Would I be missing out on some must-have features if I moved away form Qsync? Nov 16th, 2015 at 1:25 PM Jeff1792 wrote: The initial replication just takes time. It's got to the point I'm thinking of giving up on Qsync and just relying on Freefilesync (or similar) permanently. In the end it's almost always quicker to manually copy the files to the Nas in explorer or use a manual syncing tool like FreeFileSync. I'm a 3d artist so I can use large file sizes sometimes, but never large enough to explain the slowness. However sometimes it can take qsync over 30 minutes to update the files. Typically, I want to finish my work on my main PC in my home office and continue in the living room on my mac. Qsync in particular seems so slow it's almost unusable for my needs. While the hardware seems great, I'm struggling to get along with the software. I've got a TS130 for basic backup and household network access. Hi, apologies in advance I'm a very basic and noob user. ![]()
