Synology DS213 Slow Download

[CFCS]

Good morning!
I am trying to figure out how to speed up our downloads... I have several PCs backing up on our DSM213. Running Cat5e cables to a gigabit switch.Download speed is about 1.5 Mb/s !
I am backing up a dusty Dell D630 Laptop core2duo (recently picked up an HP elitebook 8440p) so need to back this up before i start the transition.


Via SSH i ran fdisk - ul
I have a relatively weak IT background so any advice/help would be great!

Start by checking the Synology GUI. Is the CPU 100%
What disk configuration are you running ? RAID0, RAID1, JBOD ?
Does your gig switch show 1Gb connections from all your devices? Are your cables commercial Cat5E or Cat6 cables?

Your speed will be limited by the laptop. Is its CPU at 100% during this transfer?

What are you using to copy? Drag and drop?

Thanks for the quick response!
RAID1 Configuration.
I am showing 1 GB data.
Running commercial cat5e from the PC to switch (Edge switch 48 port, 500w PoE)
Laptop is wifi.
I am doing a drag and drop. Logged into this securely "https"

You DEFINITELY need to switch the laptop to a wired connection!!! That will be your biggest speed-up.

I also ran a back up. drag and drop with the desktop and encountered the same speeds...

Well, just hard wired the thing... going faster up to 10m/b. I am assuming i am limited now because of this dinosaur laptop... I will look further into why the other desktop isn't downloading at a a reasonable speed either. That machine is win732bit, dell optipplex Core2Vpro tower.
