Still seems a little on the low side for that CPU, this is with a D2700, it is faster but not my much (passmark of 492 vs 423):
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1k | md5sum
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 4.70252 s, 228 MB/s
I would expect it to be 10 or 20% faster on this test, not twice as fast, might be worth checking the BIOS to make sure CPU cache is enable and/or reset CMOS to optimal defaults.
Some more comparison tests, though as already mentioned a low end CPU can always limit your performance, especially when using user shares, but it also shouldn't be that slow, source disk is a 500GB 2.5" HDD:
dd if=/mnt/disk2/test/1.mp4 bs=1M count=1k | md5sum
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 12.1803 s, 88.2 MB/s
dd if=/mnt/user/test/1.mp4 bs=1M count=1k | md5sum
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 16.5119 s, 65.0 MB/s
Reading from a client computer over SMB I get around 110MB/s when using a disk share and around 65MB/s with a user share.
