calmasacow Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Is there a way that I can increase my write speed from network? Is there something that can be done to prove writing data to the array from computers on the network? I have 4X 14TB 7200rpm 256mb cache drives with one parity drive. then I have a cache array in parity of 2X 1TB nvme drives. CPU is Intel Xeon CPU D-1541 @ 2.10GHz 8 core 16 threads 32GB of DDR4 It seems that after about 60-100 GB of data is slows to a crawl . It may actually be less. I have to do dumps of raw footage for a show that I work on about once a week and it takes hours. it is usually almost a TB of data. So any ideas on speeding it up would be appreciated. The server has 10GB ports but seeing as how I'm not even saturating the 1GB port I don't see the point of switching to 10GB network hardware yet.

JorgeB Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 With turbo write enable those disks should be able to sustain 100MB/s+ writes. Quote Link to comment

I was wondering about maybe putting the cache dive into a raid-0 type config "not even sure that is possible" the writes I do are so big that they fill the cache and cause all of the dockers and VMs to stop running.

Don't think so, especially for once a week. 11 hours ago, calmasacow said: I was wondering about maybe putting the cache dive into a raid-0 type config "not even sure that is possible" It is.
