Is anything else reading data from the NAS at the same time? The performance is going to depend on a lot of details you haven't provided, but anything that reads from a hard disk is going to significantly drop throughput - probably to levels around what you're seeing. That seems like the most likely explanation, assuming you don't have some older CPU or a 100Mbps network port, or something else like WiFi in the mix. The bursty behavior is likely due to caching. -- Rich
