July 7, 20242 yr I'm just getting started with unraid. I have a basic array with one drive, no cache, no parity (yet), and a single SMB user share. I installed the disk speed plugin and it reported about 430MBps. I ran the network speed test app and it gives me gigabit speeds. But for some reason when I run a crystal disk mark or simple file transfers, I get about 80MBps read and about 30MBps write via SMB shares. Is my CPU the bottleneck? Should I have a different type of share? Without parity, I would expect it to saturate a gigabit connection. CPU: Intel® Celeron® Processor J6413, 1.5M Cache, 4cores, up to 3.00 GHz RAM: 16GB DDR4 Hard Drive: WD Red Plus 6TB CMR Motherboard: CWWK J6413 nas motherboard, with 6 sata ports (sata 1 is native, the others are through a JMB585 expansion chip) Newest version of Unraid downloaded today. Any suggestions?
July 7, 20242 yr Community Expert Please post the diagnostics and a screenshot showing the Windows explorer graph from a large file transfer.
July 7, 20242 yr Author Here's the diagnostics. When I copy a file with Finder on my mac, it doesn't show the file transfer speed, but the activity monitor does. Crystal Disk Mark (Or I guess the new one is AmorphousDiskMark?) shows similar stats. I attached some screenshots. Thanks for the reply. vault-diagnostics-20240707-1056.zip Edited July 7, 20242 yr by whiterook6
July 8, 20242 yr Author Thanks, I'll check that out. I'll also try this out with my Windows desktop just to check how it performs. Should I expect unraid to be able to saturate a gigabit connection for both reading and writing when using Windows?
