Just dove into NASLite, so easy to set up my mom might be able to do it.
Anyway,
I am attempting to find a solution to slow transfer speeds. Using diskwriggler I'm only getting 1.4MB/s on a 100mbit network.
I currently only have one 250gb hard drive attached. I believe the problem might be the drive running in PIO mode instead of DMA but I am unsure on how to find this out.
What I can find in the logs are the following:

and the S.M.A.R.T. information gives the following:

ATA Version is: 7
ATA Standard is: Unrecognized. Minor revision code: 0x00
SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
SMART support is: Enabled
So for some reason it is displaying the ATA Standard of "Unrecognized" instead of 7, 6, ect...
Does this mean it is being run in PIO mode?
If so, is there a way to fix this? I fear the worst since the bios of this computer does not support drives larger than 137gb and no bios update is avaliable. Due to this I bypassed drive detection and set it to none. Does this mean I will be stuck in PIO mode since I cannot force the drive into DMA mode through the bios?
