I have a DS218j & really struggling with Hyper Backup through USB. I've tried a full NTFS format from Windows & EXT 4 format from the NAS. I've also disabled data compression as that seems very CPU intensive on what limited resources the 218j has. But USB transfers are desperately slow. I've just replaced a 2TB USB 2 disk with a 4TB USB 3 & it's even slower! 800GB of data is only averaging around 15MB/s in Hyper Backup. Direct USB copy in File Station is quicker but nowhere near what you'd expect from USB 3. At best it will peak around 50MB/s but often collapses to less than 100 KB/s! There are many such threads out in Google Land but none with a concrete solution that worked for all.
I really don't want to use EXT4 if it can be avoided as having a backup that I can't read in Windows if the NAS fails seems rather daft. Anyone using Hyper Backup through USB with sensible speed?
I even contemplated upgrading to the 220+ but it seems that is no solution, many of these reports are from owners of + models.
