Speed Accessing Files on Unraid

[Monty_zoomer]

Hi all in Unraid land

 

I've set up an Unraid system but I'm having issues asccessing files from it on my windows 10 machine - specifically the time it takes to navigate through folders and open files

 

It can take 30 or 40 seconds or even longer just to open a folder - I'm runnimg with 10GB nic also

 

I've stoped my drives sleeping as i thought that might be the cause

 

I also have a Truenas server - that operates so much quicker.

 

If I copy files from the WIN10 machine to the Unraid machine they copy between 2 and 300 mb/sec

 

Any advice would be appreciated

 

Ian

Assuming you are using Windows Explorer have you tried avoiding using any of the Icon views as they can be considerably slower as Windows gathers the information needed to display the icons.
