August 5, 20241 yr Author iperf3 = ~430 Mbits/sec for sender and receiver (going to purchase a new cat 6 cable today) HDD speed. But, my user share config for data is Cache -> Spinners. My Cache is 4TB (2x 2TB nvme drive) and is 5% full. I just ran a speed test now from my laptop (wireless connection to my Fios router) Edited August 5, 20241 yr by ramjam824

August 5, 20241 yr Community Expert I'm sorry but WiFi can be very difficult to optimize, I would recommend changing to wired.
August 5, 20241 yr Author Does this network path sound right? FIOS ONT -> Fios Router -> Ethernet Switch (what kind of switch for a 10gbe network?) -> Run Cables Edited August 5, 20241 yr by ramjam824 clarity
