First of all, I'm not sure if this should go under storage or networking, so sorry if I've put this under the wrong section.
I have a hard drive connected to my network through my router which I can access through either the internet or through my local network. I expected the read/write speeds to drop significantly when accessing it remotely, but did not think I would take that big of a performance hit while accessing it through my home network. My router is a Netgear Nighthawk ac1900 router and the hard drive is a WD 1TB USB 3.0 drive connected through the Netgear's USB 3.0 port. I am accessing it via my Alienware 17, which also uses 802.11 ac. I am seeing upload speeds / write speeds topping around 17 MB/s and averaging around 13.5 MB/s. The files are being copied from a pair of hard drives (on my laptop) in RAID 0. I was hoping to see much higher transfer speeds.
Is this normal or do I need to reconfigure something to max out my connection speeds?
