Hi, i wonder if there's any progress on this one. i consider this a very limiting issue, as it renders my n2100 almost unusable regarding it's core purpose, being a high performance nas device in a gbit lan. even my slug seems to have a better disk performance. i know i could go back to thecus firmware if that's my main concern, but, you know, that's not an option either for obvious reasons. :-) Markus
