There was a time earlier that I was bragging that my speed was hitting the ceiling of my network capability and I had never experienced that with any other NAS software.  Then suddenly I started hitting a ceiling 20~40 MBs.  I have been looking at my LAN and have troubleshot from switch to switch and cross switches.  When I set a Windows PC beside this NAS with Aida32 Network Benchmark I am getting a much higher max bandwidth than this PC (NAS) has.  So, I added a second PCI NIC to my media creator PC (next to my NAS) and also a second PCI NIC to this NAS.  In the unRAID NAS I primary bonded to eth1 and ran backup to eth0.  This thinking was to analyze the possibility of hardware fail.  Nothing has changed, no matter what I run through at it it is very very slow.

 

I even went so far as to make some new CAT6 wires and tested them.

solved it... the work I did to make the network robust actually paid off big.  What I failed to do was go back to RoboCopy and set my max threads back up.  I have to apologize with submitting so many self solved problems... I am a senior technologist with a fortune 500 manufacturing firm.  I have been working in technologies since the mid 80's.  So, I am new to this forum, but been around a bit.
