Apparently the sata cables were the culprit

I'll try swaping the sata cables

ohh, it's showing several notices on ata4 Does "Apr 24 08:43:55 Media kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/33" means what I think it means?

What should I post? syslog.txt?

Ok more tests: since both have the same motheboard (Asus C60M1-I, love those paired with Node cases ) I swapped the mobo just in case the ethernet port on the board was bad (or wrong settings). Nope, same issue. Putting back the other mobo and looking at the dashboard it's detected as gigabit so I think that leaves out the switch then?? The weird thing is that the other computers connected to the same switch run ok... BTW, I'm using big files for testing, so no random seeks.

bummer, I'll look into the settings again just in case I missed something The switch is a gigabit swicht but IDK, can a switch go bad on the gigabit line and fallback to 100mbps?? The boxes are on different rooms and thus different switches. I think I have a spare, I'll post back ASAP

I put together a new unraid box for personal files and stuff instead of mixing them with the media box but I'm getting some slow transfer speeds both up and down, around 10MB/s. My other unraid box does 30-40MB/s up and 70-80MB/s down which is normal AFAIK. Now, I'm using the trial key as I'd like to buy the license next month (as we're going back to work in two more weeks and money is tight xc ) so I just want to know if this is normal for the trial mode or if I should look for some issue or default setting that I need to change. The drives came from my other box; the drives are ok, I just replaced them with bigger ones. EDIT: the ethernet cable is a CAT5e, tested it with the other box and transfer speeds are fine so I ruled that out

In hopes of improving the situation I removed the heatsink to find out what kind of controller it had but the chip is blank XD I've seen references to the 9201-16I, mainly on items listings, for example a seller had it listed as: HP 1208 de ATTO H30F 16-Port SAS RAID SATA Array HP part number 511799-001 Model: 9201-16I Anyone knows if it's a 9201-16I for sure???

Yeah pretty much what I thought just wanted to make sure I guess I could use it for my decomisioned drives or something (those are pilling up XD)

I upgraded my unraid license from Basic to Pro and, in order to get advantage of it, I went and bought a 2nd hand ATTO H30F ESAS HBA. The card works and picks up all the drives and all but it lists them as 1.99TB drives even tough I have a mix of 3TB and 4TB drives. Is there any firmware update that adds support for >2TB drives? Tried to look on the ATTO website but the card isn't listed in the downloads section ( https://www.atto.com/downloads/ ). Google isn't being too kind with the search results either. TL:DR - As the title says
