unRaid 6.12.13 - Slow transfer speeds, Network issues with Intel Killer E3100? (RTL-8169 driver)

Featured Replies

Hi guys, 

New build, New user :) Love unRAID but short after deployment setup I tried to transfer files from the Synology on my wired network.

Speeds at best 25 MB/s :( on the 1gbit ethernet.


Have tried with Parity off, tried with cache on/off, tried SMB settings, Turbo writesNetwork MTU's, NO parity calculations ongoing or other loads on cpui etc etc..

Downloads via Sabnzb + Wireguard VPN is at 70 MB/s which is fine.

Also checked network cable and checked unifi router which says connected to GbE. Unraid also says connected to GbE.

ASRock | Z790 PG Riptide motherboard has the Intel Killer E3100 NIC.

unRaid Driver automatically installed: r8169RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet
Location: net/ethernet/realtek

The device is getting many drops in the dashboard, so something is very wrong? (See picture)

Device found by unRaid is: IOMMU group 12:[10ec:3000] 0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Killer E3000 2.5GbE Controller (rev 06)

Question, is this not wrong version? should be E3100?

I've seen that the forum has had issues with RTL-8169 driver and suggest changing to 8125, but I'm new to this ,and would really like some confirmation. Or if unRAID could update this in coming releases?

Thanks for all your time and effort, I've attached my Diagnostics below.

That looks fine, post a screenshot from the Windows explorer graph during a large file transfer to the array without parity, or with turbo write enabled, but for the latter note that parity must be synced, in the diags it's still invalid, turbo write doesn't work with an invalid parity.

  • Author

Thank you for helping out, yes It looks great actually.

Without parity?  U mean: stop array, take parity disc out, and restart array?

Or

Just letting it be online, and just setting writes to recunstructive? a.k.a Turbo?

Both of these needs Parity's been completed?

  • Community Expert

To remove parity you don't need to sync it, just unassign it and start the array, to test with parity and turbo write, you need to let it sync first .

Hey @JorgeB

I'm seeing 60-80MB/s when doing a Turbo-write now.

Parity is on. High water profile.

I should be seeing 100+mb/s right?

still glad it's no 20.... :)

Usually yes, but will depend on the hardware, post new diags saved during a large file transfer.
