This article will introduce the performance issues you may encounter when accessing Eagle libraries using NAS or network storage devices, along with corresponding optimization methods to help you achieve a smoother user experience.

Common Causes of NAS Performance Issues

When accessing Eagle libraries over the network, you may encounter the following performance limitations:

Limited Instant Response: NAS devices cannot provide the same low-latency experience as directly connected hard drives due to network transmission and hard disk speed limitations
Network Protocol Efficiency: Random access performance through SMB protocol file transfers is typically inferior to hard drives directly connected to computers
Network Connection Quality: Wireless connections or improper router configurations can cause additional latency and performance degradation
Wi-Fi Performance Variations: Different routers have significant Wi-Fi performance differences that affect library access speed
Frequency Band Selection Impact: 2.4GHz band has strong wall penetration but slower speeds, while 5GHz band offers fast speeds but weaker penetration capability
QoS Setting Limitations: Improper Quality of Service settings may limit data transfer rates for NAS or network storage devices

Optimization Recommendations

To improve Eagle library access speed over external networks, you can try the following methods:

Hardware Selection and Configuration

Direct Connection Priority: For users with high performance requirements, it's recommended to use traditional hard drives or SSDs directly connected to computers
High-Performance NAS: Choose NAS devices equipped with SSD cache or higher IOPS performance
Network Connection Optimization: Use wired connections between NAS and computers whenever possible to avoid additional latency from wireless transmission

Network Settings Optimization

Wired Over Wireless: Use wired network connections instead of wireless to reduce latency and improve stability
Wi-Fi Frequency Band Selection: Prioritize using 5GHz Wi-Fi band when possible for faster transmission speeds
QoS Settings Adjustment: Check and optimize QoS settings on network devices to ensure NAS or sync drive data transmission isn't unnecessarily restricted

Through these measures, you can maximize Eagle software performance and response speed when using NAS, cloud storage, or sync drives, achieving a better user experience.
