This is probably an easy one, but right now I have a 3TB WD External HDD plugged into my Apple Router as the equivalent of my NAS drive. However, transferring data to and from it from other hardwired computers in the network is slow (20mb) compared to a 100mb transfer from computer to computer.
I imagine this is due to the limitation of USB attached storage transfer speeds?
So, I'd like to get a NAS enclosure and put a HDD in there, in hopes that this will speed up the internal transfer rate for data to and from the NAS.
Is there a "cheap" or reasonable way to approach this for a simple home NAS setup that doesn't involve $500+ hardware such as a Drobo or Synology?
