I have no first hand experience of this product, but I have used similar in work and at home. In the end, the only decent fast solution I have found is to use a computer for a network file server to get the best performance.

I now get 50MB/sec+ transfer over gigabit without using jumbo frames.

I'd suggest the icy box just isn't up to the task of high speed storage.

This review also indicates similar.

Sandra reports an average of around 7.5MB/s for the NAS 4220. That's a little on the low side when you consider that the theoretical maximum throughput on a 10/100 link is 12.5MB/s (100Mb/s). I also timed moving some files manually to and from the box. In these tests I used a single 500MB ISO for the large file test and a folder of 400+ pictures totaling 500MB for the small file test. As you can see, average read/write times were consistent with the SiSoft file system benchmark results.
