Flash Cards and Network Volumes
Like HDDs, portable media and network volumes work slower than modern SSD storage devices.
FastRawViewer can additionally limit the parallel functionality when working with such devices.
Default preferences are intended for work with today’s typical storage media: Gigabit Ethernet
network and flash cards of “average speed” in USB3 readers; for slower devices the default settings
ought to be changed:
For Network volumes:

When using a WiFi-network:
Lower the preferences values.
Preferences – Removable Media – Prefetch depth on network volumes
to 2-3.

When using fast network/NAS (1Gb/s and faster, in NAS with 4 and more disks in RAID):
Raise the preferences values.
Preferences – Removable Media – Prefetch depth on network volumes
to 6-8.
For Flash cards:

Slow cards (USB2 readers, Class 6 cards and slower):
Lower the preferences values.
Preferences – Removable Media – Prefetch depth on removable media
to 2-3.

Fast cards (USB3/SATA readers, UHS-I/CFast cards):
Raise the preferences values.
Preferences – Removable Media – Prefetch depth on removable media
to 6-8.
