I have a DLINK Nas device.. It was working fine before I put in a new drive.. I never really tested it, lol, just knew that I formatted it, could find it on the network, and was able to write files to it..
But when I tried pulling files from it, I would get about 20kilobytes of the file before it would time out or it would pull 20k, pause for a minute, pull another 20k, pause, etc.. .. I got frustrated and brought the drive into work so I could try and get some data from the drive..
Anyways, I was looking at the drive, and I must have misread the jumper settings when I put the drive in.. I thought it said to set the drive to master that you had to remove all jumpers.. Now I take a second look, and basically I had the drive set to slave..
I guess this would explain why it could start to read and time out.. i would have figured that if the jumper setting was wrong, it wouldn't work at all. but could this be the problem? i dont have the nas with me to test it, but when I go home I'll test it..
