Hi all

 

I maybe getting a slow transfer speed (20MB/s in windows) though I'm not sure this is slow but I think it is?

 

The files are 1-2GB video files - mkv/mp4 and its a file COPY.

Its the standard windows SMB file share found in Network and the copy was initiated from the windows PC (drag, right click copy).

 

The network looks like this:

 

UNRAID server (EXOs HDDs with 2 Parity) > Orbi SXS80 > Orbi SXR80 > Media Converter Fiber > Media Converter Copper > TPLink Gigabit Switch > Geekcom MiniPC (SSD 2TB).

 

All connections are wired and all components should have a gigabit connection.

Windows says the link aggregation is 1000/1000mbps.

UNRAID dashboard says eth0 1000Mbps, full duplex, mtu 1500 outbound approx 200Mbps.

 

 

My question is; I feel like I should be seeing higher file transfer speeds.  Transfers are irregular so I don't really want to take the GeekCom inside and sort of half split fault find, as I will need to setup keyboard, monitor etc.  Could there be an easy fix or is this just normal?  This is a big transfer just above 1TB.

 

The rest of my network isn't really working that hard so I don't think other things are impacting it.

 

On further inspection:

My UNRAID CPU had an overall load <4% with no core working any harder than 12%.  And the GeekCom I don't believe is struggling.

The files are all stored in one HDD on the UNRAID array with 2 parity drives.

In the STATs tab, it looks like a read speed on the disks of 20ish MB/s.

 

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Chris
