I need your help to fine tune my gigabit network.
I will be detailed so you guys can help me out easier.
My system has a Buffalo LS-QVL NAS, a Clientron 3820 PC running Windows 10 Preview attached to Orico 6538 USB HDD dock, which all have gigabit NIC connecting to TP-Link TL-SG1008D gigabit switch via Buffalo CAT6 2 meter patch code. The theoretical speed should be limited by USB 2.0 speed only, which I tested on my system is about 34MBps. When I copy files from HDD on Orico to NAS, the maximum speed is only 26MBps. When I use a Fast Ethernet router previously, the speed is about 11.3MBps, which is about 90% of theoretical speed.
Is there any way to fine tune my system? I am moving 3TB of data each time so an increase in speed is very important.
Thank you very much.

Seems like a USB3 or eSATA HDD dock would do you a LOT better than trying to mess around with network settings.

Either the above would allow you to max out (most) conventional hard drives (at least to the PC) and could saturate a gigabit network connection. Easily a 3x boost over current transfer speeds.
