lightsource Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'm currently having issues with file transfer speeds using unraid. It seems as though this began happening after I converted a bunch of videos to x265 utilizing tdarr. Currently on windows my file transfers sit around 2-3MB/s, so a 4GB file is 20+ minutes. I was encoding for about 4 days and on one of the days I did get notified of ~52 errors on my parity drive. I conducted some disk speed tests with DiskSpeed and the 12TB HDD’s scored very similar, one of the 12TB’s was the parity drives. So no issues there. I don’t know if this was the best approach to take, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Start by running a single stream iperf test in both directions, if those are normal post diags during a file copy. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Those network speeds look consistent with the transfer rates you mentioned so it is the network limiting transfer speeds.. What type of networking are you using as the speeds appear to be very low. Quote Link to comment

lightsource Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Just took a look at my networking and it says that it's running eth1 at 100Mbps, but I don't know why. Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted March 5, 2023 Solution Share Posted March 5, 2023 Just now, lightsource said: Just took a look at my networking and it says that it's running eth1 at 100Mbps, but I don't know why. It could just be a bad cable as 100 Mbps is less stringent than 1Gbps. A bad port is also a possibility but I would think less likely. Quote Link to comment
lightsource Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 I feel silly. Loose cable was the issue. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Big improvement, but still looks low for a gigabit lan. Quote Link to comment
