i have a very similar problem with a share over SMB. If i map a network drive in Windows 10, the speed is very slow when i download something from the share.
I had no problems on the same machine, running Windows 7 with network shares. I switched to Unraid and created some shares for SMB with the same files as i had in Windows 7, but the speed is mostly 10-20 times slower than before.
To check that everything is OK with the network, i've created a VM with Windows 7 on my Unraid server and created a network share where i copied all the files from the Unraid share into, and voila - the speed is the same as before!
Can anyone explain, why the speed of a network share is faster in a VM on Unraid than directly on the array?
