Hello

Im new to Unraid, so sorry if I don't understand some things.

So far I build my first Setup

 

i5 8600K

12 GB Ram

2 x 4TB HDD

 

nothing else is running on it right now, I read a lot but after 5 days reading I thought why not write my Problem.

 

i set the Array to 1 Parity 1 normal Drive

 

the first about 35 GB went thru with more then 100MB/ sec ( 1G/sec Lan Port )

the next day I wanted to copy more data from an external drive and there the Problems began.

 

writing speed about 0.2 MB/sec 🥶

first I thought it was the problem that I copy from the external drive via Mac to Unraid, so I copied the files to the Mac. Same situation again ( 0.2 MB/s )

 

today I tried and disable the Parity since I read that can be a problem, but same again.

 

why was it writing so fast the first day? and why did it slow down that much?

for about 75GB it showed me 19 DAYS! and rising....so I cancelled

 

ty in advance

Please post the diagnostics during a transfer.

do you need the whole folder or just 1 file?

Paiiry disk is invalid, it won't perform normally like that, either let parity sync of if you want to try without parity unassigned the parity disk, if it's still slow suggest trying with the other disk as disk1.

it was paired correctly before I start using it.

I switches parity disk off to try writing speed without parity

 

but same speed sadly

 

I just try to copy a 4GB .iso and it worked very in 3-4 min.

 

the fines I try to copy are backup files for iPhone/iPad can it be that they are too small 78GB are over 178.000 files

 

is it the small file that make the problem?

Yes, you can only test speed with large files, small files will take much longer.

so in my case I just let it redo the parity and then I wait 19 days to finish copy of 78GB?

You can try using a disk share instead, it should be considerably faster with small files, especially with Macs.

ok i will finish the parity again and try that, TY @JorgeB

@JorgeB how about turning the folder ( 78GB with small data ) to 1 .zip File -> export to NaS and then unpack it?!

That should also be much faster.
