    Optimizing USB disk shared via NAS


    I've got a 1.5 TB Samsung Story Station Plus Connected to a Netgear Readynas Ultra 4 using USB 2 (606 GB used, some 129K files in 9600 folders). It is powered by external PS. The drive is shared using Netgear's software.

    After adding quite a lot of new files to the drive the responce has become rather slow specially when changing folders on root level. I've read somewhere that it's not possible to optimize a network drive using the Windows utility. Anybody knows if there is a clue?

    Is it for instance possible to power down the NAS, detach the drive, attach it to a USB port on another computer, run optimizing and the reconnect it to the NAS without loosing anyting on it?

    Thanks!


    :)

    Optimizing USB disk shared via NAS

    disk optimizing

    Hi fussy063, the System Reserved Partition does not need to be optimized, it is managed and maintained by Windows.

    If you are using Norton's to optimize your disk(s), remove that partition from the list of partitions to be optimized and everything will be Okay.
