Ok, so it would seem drive writing speed would be at fault. But why? SMB transfers to the drive are faster, 50-70 MB/s, close to advertised. And it would seem that I am not the only one with such problem (SCP slow, SMB fast):
Ok, so it would seem drive writing speed would be at fault. But why? Maybe indexing is at fault. There is a known issue with indexing daemons [1] to break on certain files causing infinite indexing and bringing NAS performance to its knees.
Let's stop them for the time being.
```
/etc/init.d/wdmcserverd stop
/etc/init.d/wdphotodbmergerd stop
```
To do this permamently, following command might be used:
```
update-rc.d wdphotodbmergerd disable
update-rc.d wdmcserverd disable
```
But to no avail. Problem remains.
So there we are. SMB transfers to the drive are faster, 50-70 MB/s, close to advertised. And it would seem that I am not the only one with such problem (SCP slow, SMB fast):
