Except from that the problem still exist with a maximum transfer speed between 50mb/s & 60mb/s when i am transfering data between my pc and the server.

And the source is fast? From what I've seen so far looks more like source problems, do you have a different computer you can test with? Also run a diskspeed docker read test to confirm disks and controller are performing as expected.

I don't have another pc to test this particular problem.  The files that i mostly transfer to my NAS device are mkv, m2ts & flac files.  See attachment for more information on the Diskspeed results.

That looks normal, what's the source device? Also to rule out anything array related assign one disk as a single pool and tranfer to it, if it's still slow it's likely a source problem.

The source device is an old SATA hdd so maybe that's why the transfer speed is so slow.  When i am copying the same file from a M2 ssd to my NAS it's 100mb/s.  I also installed the unassigned device plugin but i don't have the place to add an extra disk/ssd in my NAS because it's already filled with eight 4TB hdd's.

Likely, especially if it's faster from a different device.

Thanks again for all the help JorgeB.  I'll know what to do to solve this particular problem in the future.

I´m having the same issue. low transfer speed. No parity. 

Post new diags during a large file transfer, is this over SMB or locally?

  • Community Expert

There's nothing writing to disk1 at the time the diags were saved, suggesting it's waiting for data (or you are transferring to another device), to confirm it's not a LAN issue, post the results of a single stream iperf test in both directions.

To be honest, I don't have the best knowledge. I appreciate any help.

 

I am attaching a picture from my nas hard drive tree so you can see plus a diagnosis

Finding parity extremely slow. 380Kb/sec only :(. Had rebooted server few hours ago to try and fix another issue, and then noticed that parity % hasn't moved. Attaching diagnostics. Any help is greatly appreciated.tower-diagnostics-20241201-0142.zip

This does not show a parity check running. Also why do you have Fix Common Problems running every hour?

Unraid driver is crashing, this is usually a hardware issue.

I've been fighting issue with Plex docker container crashing my system. Very similar to issue happening in the thread:

Hence, tried running it more frequently. System ran flawlessly for 6+months with no issues. Just been experiencing quite a bit of issues lately. Any suggestion on how to detect hardware issues? If you can't tell, I am pretty new to this. Thank you!
