Helicon Soft Forum

Hello, I have found that helicon focus is much slower when operating on a network drive (Windows 7 client accessing a RAID 0 NAS over a gigabit connection via SMB2). Specifically the previews are slow to render (I've tried both helicon 5 and 6). I have no such issues when I use an external drive connected via USB3 although both the USB drive and the NAS show similar performance numbers in terms of file transfer speeds.

I suspect this depends on Windows when working on network drives. We tested with Synology NAS + Windows 7 over 1Gbit network and do not see any delays, even on RAW files (CR2).

I actually just upgraded to the synology NAS and it works very fast now.
