Hi, I followed the advice from the Fix Common Problems and downloaded the diagnostic which I'm attaching to this post.
I've also recently started seeing that my docker image is up to 80%-90% full. I thought I would expand the image, but from reading the forum there is another issue that seems to be the problem.
I'm hoping someone here will be able to make sense of the diagnostic file and let me know what I am doing wrong.
I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you

Any way to add HTTPS?

Do you have another PC you can try with? If not at least try the same PC with a clean OS.
I don't have another PC, unfortunately, but I did reinstall windows and there was no change.
Could it be that reading from a drive is so much slower than writing to it?

So, I finally found some time and swapped the cards. The card which was in the PC is now in UNRAID and vice versa.
The results are unchanged. I am still getting the same fast connection writing to UNRAID from the PC and slow reading from UNRAID to PC.
This means the issue is not with the cable or the cards.
Is there anything else I can try?
I'll copy my configurations below to see if there is anything else I am missing

Windows 10

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengence 3200
SSD: WD Blue 1TB

Unraid:
Unraid 6.9.2

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengence 3200HDD: 24TB Array of 7 (2 parity 8TB drives)
Cache: Samsung 256GB SSD

I'm not sure how to interpret "that didn't work". I never expected it to fix the problem, just to help with the troubleshooting. Do you mean that your results were the same as before you turned the cable round? If so, it means that the cable is working the same in both directions (not necessarily properly, but at least it's symmetrical - remember, it isn't just a bundle of wires but has active components at each end), which is useful diagnostic information and points to a possible problem with one or both cards.
Thank you for the explanation. "It didn't work" was a poor phrase to use.
Like you said, I know now that it's not the cable so it could be the network card. I'll try to swap them and see if that changes the direction (slow/fast)

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.
I tried switching the cable around to see if that is the problem as suggested by John_M, however that didn't work.
I also increased the MTU on both my PC and Unraid to 9000 and that increased the speed for both, but the difference in speed still remains.
What I'll try to do after work is switch the network cards around to see if the issue is with the card itself. If that's the problem then I guess it means getting a new card.
I'll come back to report what happened when I switch the cards.

Hi, this is my first time posting here. I've read many posts and watched lots of great set up videos. So far the information has been great, but I ran into a problem which I don't know how to fix or troubleshoot.
I recently bought two Mellanox 10Gbe cards on Ebay link
2x Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN Network Card 10GbE
1x cable SFP
I added one to my PC and the other to Unraid and followed the Spaceinvader One video on how to set up a 10Gbe network. The cards work and I can transfer files between my PC and Unraid. However, when I write to Unraid from my PC I get on average 4.5Gbps speeds. It's not great for a 10Gbe network, but ok. When I transfer files from Unraid to my PC the speeds are on average 630 Mbps. I get around the same speed with my normal gigabit network.
I don't know what the issue could be. I did a network test with iperf and got these results.
When I copy from Unraid to PC I'm copying to an Nvme drive. I thought maybe when reading from the array it can't read so fast so that's why the transfer is slow. So I created a share on the cache which is an SSD and tried again, but I get the same slow speed.
What haven't I tried? What could be causing this?
My configuration is:
PC:
Windows 10
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengence 3200
SSD: WD Blue 1TB
NVME: WD Blue 1TB
MB: MSI Gaming Pro Max

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700

I'm having the same issue now and I also have a Samsung 32gb usb stick.
After each restart I have to take the usb stick out of the port and plug it into another port. Then boot into bios, change the boot priority and then it should work, but just now even that failed.
Let us know how you get on with the new stick
