June 18, 20215 yr I am getting slow read speeds when using Plex and transferring files. It started when I downloaded a ~10gb movie and wanted to watch it on plex. As soon as it imported I started it using firefox with the local ip address for plex. Within the first minute it would stop and buffer. I stopped the stream and the tried copying it to my local machine. Read speeds from unraid to my local system were between 0 to 3.5mbps. It eventually errored out after 15 min and gave a windows file copy error. At 7 or so min I disabled all the dockers and it still failed at the 15 min mark. I have noticed that a reboot will fix the issue, but with nothing but the array and smb up I would expect faster transfer speeds. Over WIFI I can download from Microsoft at 8.5Mbps, so wifi is not the issue. tower-diagnostics-20210618-0006.zip
