Too bad, I was hoping that there is some method that would allow you to connect the disk as if it were a "local" disk (I don't mean the type of mapping) so that the speed would be limited only by the maximum network speed. The strangest thing is that it goes through a flash disk, so its speeds are huge and it has a super fast access time. All these disks mounted locally without the network can copy these files in the blink of an eye. The question arises why make a NAS from only flash disks? Since you won't feel the difference from a NAS made of regular HDD disks with SSD cache (assuming that someone uses files smaller than 100MB) Maybe I can use a different type of network than 10Gb Lan?

Hi, Thanks for the warp speed reply as usual! I tried to do that (Disk share) but the gain was very small 30%? Of course 70-120Mb/s is an improvement but it does not have the effect of 2-3x (or even better 10x)

Hello, I've been wondering for some time what to do, to speed up transfers in my network. I have a 10Gb connection to my unraid server and when I copy large files from Windows 11 to the server (I have an SSD cache there) I can easily achieve speeds of around 4 to 5 Gb\s and this is super sufficient for me. But when I need to copy a few TB of photos, the transfers oscillate around 50-100 Mb\s. This is terribly slow... And such transfers take a day or more. (of course, I also have NVME drives in my computer) When copying to an external USB 3.2 drive, it copies around 1GB\s without a problem, thanks to which the process takes maybe an hour. Is there anything I can do or set so that these speeds come close to at least 1Gb\s? I also guess that this may be due to the lacks in SMB protocol, or due to some network latency? Then maybe there is some tool I could use to copy this small files to my shares? If I don't ask I won't know

Hello, Sorry I haven't replied for so long, but I've been waiting for parts from China ;). In general, everything has been working stably since I removed the ADATA NVMe drive, so I assume it's simply not compatible with my board or unrai. In place of the drive, I've mounted an adapter to the PCI-E 4x port (my board is one of those cheap Chinese N100s and doesn't have a PCI-E port on the board). I've now connected an LSI 2308 controller to this port, and 16TB drives to it, and I'm happy to report that everything is working very stably and uses really little power (below 40W). Thank you all very much for your tips! See you next time!

I know this is an old post... But Brother you helped me I had exactly this problem and I thought I have 2 dead 16TB drives. 2 minutes later everything works. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I think I found the culprit. It wasn't the processor but the nvme disk responsible for the cache. Generally, I replaced the disk in the meantime, but with a different capacity and not from a different manufacturer. Namely, I had an ADATA LEGEND 800 disk installed, the first one was 1TB and the second 2TB. It turns out that the controller on my board doesn't really like the controller in the disks... For now, I changed the cache disk to a regular Samsung SATA 2TB(I didn't have any free nvme. I just have to buy one for Black Friday). The only strange thing is that the instability was also when reading and transferring small files from the platter disks in my NAS. But I assume that the transfer from them was also done with the help of cache, or the mere presence of these disks in the system caused instability in the operation of the whole thing. When I install a disk from another manufacturer, I'll let you know! (damn, I hope it's not a problem with the pcie lines to the processor :D)

Unfortunately, it's not a network problem. I've changed the switches and network cards in both my computer and the server. "The little things are still killing it." As JorgeB wrote, it's probably a hardware problem (or its configuration in the BIOS), but I can't quite figure out what device the problem is. Looking at the logs, you can conclude that it's the processor. But I can't change it because it's a soldered N100. I add syslog after changing cards and switch. unraid-syslog-previous-20241112-1750.zip

My gut tells me it's probably some processor settings in the BIOS, but I have no idea what... because stability improved by 50% if only I turned off TPM. So that's part of the puzzle Other ideas assume it might be something to do with the switch (I know it shouldn't matter) but apart from the server hanging, the switch hangs too. The only question is which device is hanging because of which device. I will change the switch to another one and then "bombard" it with a few hundred gigs of small stuff. As for the hardware problem, I changed the motherboard and RAM

Hi, Thanks for the advice! Today I changed all mtu settings to default, but unfortunately it did not solve the problem :(. And today, while making a backup copy, the server froze again and I had to hard reset it. I am adding fresh "syslog" unraid-syslog-previous-20241112-1557 (1).zip

Hello, I'm having strange problems with my platform. Namely, when copying small files, say up to 15GB, or larger files (movies) up to 30GB. I have no problem and everything works great. But when I start backing up my drives, which have a lot of small files (250GB+), sometimes server simply freezes and the only thing I can do is hard reset it. As an additional fact, I will add that this is not a rule because there are days when the entire copying process goes without any problems. At the beginning, when looking through the system log, it seemed as if it was some problem related to "TPM". So I turned it off in the BIOS, and it certainly improved stability, but the problems still occur (it used to be impossible to make a backup, now it only freezes occasionally) Now when I copy data in the syslog, other errors appear, e.g.: CPU: 3 PID: 14513 Comm: notify Tainted: P B O 6.1.106-Unraid #1 Hardware name: Default string Default string/Default string, BIOS 5.27 09/11/2024 I did a memtest and it passed without any problems. I checked the BIOS settings and everything seems to be fine I have 2.5 Gb network cards and switches and "mtu" is set to 9000 everywhere I have a brand new 1TB NVME as a cash drive I will be very grateful for your ideas. Because I regret to admit that I have no idea how to properly configure network devices or UNRAID settings. (but it's interesting science ; ) unraid-syslog-previous-20241110-2231.zip

Hello, I've got my hands 3 slightly used 16TB Seagate Exos x18 drives with a SAS interface. Unfortunately, I do not have any controller for these drives. And here's my question: Does a controller like the LSI 9207 work with drives of this capacity and with SAS connector? And the second question: If so, can I connect these drives via a SATA to SAS adapter? Here is a link to the auction I am considering: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226415675129?chn=ps&_ul=GB&google_free_listing_action=view_item From what I read, apparently there is no capacity limit on these cards... only speed, I can only hope that the card will work with drives on the SAS interface. I ordered it so I guess I'll find out

Hello, I`v got my hands 3 slightly used 16TB Seagate Exos x18 drives with a SAS interface. Unfortunately, I do not have any controller for these drives. And here's my question: is it possible to get a CHEAP, used controller that will easily handle such drives? Would you be able to recommend something that would work in unraid? Because when I search Google, there is very little information about used controllers for sale for drives of this capacity.
