NTFS file system is less performance than FAT32
But FAT32 has 4G single file size limit.
You can try EXT2/3 filesystem.

Can you provide me a little bit more help/instruction on how to install ext2/3
package?
Should I first format the disk to ext3 before I install the package, or not?
When I do the install (and still having ntfs disk) I get the following error:
root@Vigor2130:/# opkg install http://vigor2130.googlecode.com/files/kmod-fs-ext

The install path should be usb. Try the following steps:
root@Vigor2130:~# opkg install
http://vigor2130.googlecode.com/files/kmod-fs-ext3_2.6.23.17-vsc75xx-1_arm.ipk

You can also try to modify the installation path in /etc/opkg.conf

I followed your instructions.
The jbd and ext3 modules are successfully loaded.
Also when I plugin the USB-disk it is successfully connected and in use.
But now when I use the Web console and press button to install samba server, it
fails installing because file system is full.
I believe that it tries to install the samba server in flash memory somehow
instead of install it on the disk.
I see two directories now under /mnt
root@Vigor2130:/mnt# ls
usb_disk1 usb_sda1
The usb_disk1 directory still refers to flash memory, and the usb_sda1
directory is actually my USB-disk.
But when I use "USB Application -> File Explorer" in the Web console it is
browsing the usb_disk1 directory-tree (which is the flash mem) and not the
usb_sda1 directory.
Also samba installation is using usb_disk1 directory and not usb_sda1.
What to do now?
root@Vigor2130:/mnt# df

maybe you need to do a symbolic link manually
ln -s /mnt/usb_sda1 /mnt/usb_disk1

Ok,it works now. Many thanks for the instructions.
Performance improved to 2MB/s, but this is in my opinion still too slow.
Will the USB storage performace be improved in the next firmware version?

I think maybe it is the cpu limit.
We can compare it with other embedded router to see the potential of
improvement.

Or maybe it is memory limit?
When I look at system status (in the web console) then I always see a high
memory usage (95-97 %), for example
Memory Usage : 59980K / 62796K (95.52%)

some memory is for cache and buffer.
You can check with top
Mem: 59728K used, 3068K free, 0K shrd, 14272K buff, 14804K cached
CPU: 41% usr 58% sys 0% nice 0% idle 0% io 0% irq 0% softirq

I agree with above comments.
I also have issue with USB speed. Tested it with some HDDs and pendrives,
performance is poor regardless of filesystem (FAT32/NTFS).
This is very disappointing, because current version of specs @
http://www.draytek.com/user/PdInfoDetail.php?Id=98#PdSk
doesn't say any word about USB speed limit.
This issue NEEDS focus in following firmware/hardware versions, or Draytek
doesn't want to be competitive to even cheap NAS devices.

Hi Guys,
Concerning the USB disk, I was also experiencing the same issue with a USB
disk. I had contact with the draytek support, about this issue. This is what
the replied to me:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, the USB port on the DrayTek
currently is limited to a maximum throughput of 6 Mbps. The
manufacturer has already indicated that they are involved in developing
a new firmware, this will also raise the USB throughput.
We can already state that the indicated speed in your e-mail
will not be achieved.
Furthermore, the manufacturer indicates that when you use FAT32 you will get a
higher throughput
If you have any questions let us know by e-mail.
Sincerely,
DrayTek Support

If we take 2130 as media server, play the audio and video direct from 2130. the
throughput should be ok. If you take 2130 as NAS or file server, the throughput
is really bad.

USB Performance is still soooooo poor..
I'm uploading flac files on usb hdd and I get 150-250KB/s (NTFS parition -
250GB)... DLNA plays music BUT... If I want to browse files I have to STOP
playing the music!!! If I don't... yamaha rx-v771 is searching for content and
shows "no content" or "access denied"...
:((

Same problem for me. Installed 1.5.2_RC1 to get ext3 functionality (received
the hint that this could improve write performance) but still very low speed -
regardless if using Mac OSX or Win 7 to write on the share.

vigor 2130 is USB 2.0 Full Speed = USB 1.1
USB 1.1 MAX speed is 12Mbps = 1.5MByte

I have a 2130 and a 2130n, but the poor USB performance, a bad 3G modem support
(not compatible with iPhone) and a defected DLNA ... I think Draytek is not a
good router. I wait for the next firmware, and if nothing will happen i will
choose ASUS in the future. http://event.asus.com/2012/nw/rt-n65u/
