1. Re: Why is InDesign CS6 so slow accessing files on NAS?
P Spier Mar 18, 2014 5:06 PM (in response to erblo007)My first thought is the wireless connection (your connected wirelessly?) is iffy. It would never be as fast as wired, and wired would never be as fast as a local drive.

erblo007 Mar 19, 2014 6:30 AM (in response to P Spier)Thanks Peter. Most computers are wired (though a couple are wireless). The issue is the same for both.
I just don't understand what changes after moving them back to the NAS.
I understand that it will be slower to open on a NAS vs. local, but would it also be slower during use?

P Spier Mar 19, 2014 6:42 AM (in response to erblo007)If ID needs to go back to the network to load something else into memory, that's going to slow things down. I'm not a network expert, nor do I really know what gets loaded into memory (the total amount of RAM is actually irrelvant once you get to the point where ID is using the adressable limit, just under 4 gb for CS6 which is still 32-bit) or how big your file is, so I don't know how much swapping is going on. The speed of the drive in the NAS is also going to be a factor.
