What might be contributing to slow speeds copying data between drives?

Featured Replies

I recently replaced most of my drives and am in the process of migrating data around to reformat and I've noticed my speeds rebuilding were slow, and copying data currently is about 73MB/s with unbalance.

 

I'm using on-board SATA ports, and I was wondering if that may be why I'm getting such bad speeds.  What are the usual culprits?

Moving data between array drives is always slow due to parity, 73MB/s is pretty good.

If it's as simple as that, it's as simple as that.

I’m having similar issues, but I have -no- parity drives in play yet, nor do I have any cache drives installed.  Attempting to migrate data from a NTFS drive to an Unraid Share, both drives connected to mobo sata ports.  Also, the Share in question is set to use only 1 of the 2 drives currently in the array.  I’ve tried via terminal (rsync) and krusader, and both had dismal speeds.  This initial batch is roughly 4k folders, 60k files.

60k files.

Performance will always be much slower with small files, especially if using user shares, also depends on the filesystem used.
