Yeah it sounded so good when I looked it up. Unfortunately, my apartment must have messed up the internal connections. The Moca speed I was getting was worse than with wifi. I ended up setting up mesh + ethernet. Now I get the full Gigabit speed for transfers!

I've narrowed down the issue to wifi actually. My setup (xfinity) is: 1) Unraid server connected to the router through ethernet 2) PC connected through wifi Transfer speed between PC and server here is over wifi which is the main culprit. I confirmed this by streaming my plex content to 4 devices in the house at the same time. The Unraid server's network shows output over 200Mbps which means there is no cap at the server. I also tested connection between different devices (iphone to PC, iphone to iphone, mac to pc etc) and they were all slower. I was looking into mesh systems when I discovered MoCA filters which is what I'm going to try next.

@Blaze9 Reviving this old thread, I'm running into the exact same issue as yours. FTP and iperf3 between unraid and windows are capped at 10MBps while external connections (internet for example) are running at full 100MBps. Were you able to fix this?

Thanks for the suggestions. I re-plugged the cables again and the drive got mounted magically with first boot.

Hey folks First timer here. I bought three WD Red plus 8TB HDDs for my server. Was following the setup guidelines but for some reason, one of the disks always fails to mount in the array. No matter how many times I start the array and click on the 'Format' button, it always instantly fails with the error 'Unmountable: unsupported or no file system'. The logs show the following error: `root: mount: /mnt/disk1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.` Things I've tried so far: 1) Different array configs like 2 data + 1 parity array, 2 data array, 1 data array but all the configs still had the same disk fail mounting in unraid. 2) Wipe and format through cmdline, as mentioned in https://forums.unraid.net/topic/181021-cannot-format-new-disk-to-createadd-array/. I did not run a full dd however. 3) Wipe and format multiple times through Unassigned Devices plugin. 4) Couldn't try check in the disk menu after starting in maintenance mode. It doesn't even show up there. Attached a screenshot for this. I've attached the diagnostics from a new config with only this disk in the array. This doesn't seem like a hardware issue as I'm able to mount the drive using Unassigned Devices plugin and am able to browse through the contents (the disk is empty though). Any help would be gladly appreciated here. Thank you in advance! diagnostics-20251215-1821.zip
