I cant find an actual answer to my question so I'm making a thread.

 

What kind of transfer rates can I achieve if I buy this software? At the moment, I'm maxing out a gigabit connection. Can I do this with this software?

Try the free version. It's not speed limited, so whatever performance you get from your specific hardware will be the same when you buy it. Your hardware will determine your transfer rates.

There are plenty of posts talking about this. At most writing to the protected array will be 40ish MBytes/s

To a cache drive. Typically Max out the Gigabit (depends on drive used.)

If absolute write speed is your primary concern, then unRAID may not be the solution for you.  There are other RAID solutions that are optimized for speed and multi-user file sharing systems.

 

That being said, I use unRAID and am very happy with the speeds.  I was getting about 35-40 MBps without using a cache drive.  I decided to add a cache drive and get somewhere between 70 and 90 MBps sustained transfer rates now.  That speed is probably being limited by the hard drive I am transferring data from, but pretty darn good.

This is what I was wanting to know. I have a friend that got me interested in this because it sounds awesome. I'm not that interested in write speeds. His set up is only getting him approx 30-40MB transfer rates.

 

I may be confused as to what I'm wanting and what I'm saying. Let me give an example of what I'm talking about and compare it to my windows setup now.

 

If I copy a large file from my windows server to my pc, it copies appox. 70-90MB. Which seems to be maxing out my hdd speeds. I just dont want to be limited on this by the software.

 

I have ran some form of linux before on this same pc and the transfer speeds were slow. If I use the unraid software I will be using a cache drive, I know that will be my fastest setup.

You should get similar transfer speeds using the cache drive.  Give it a shot and post here for any help you need.  This is a great community.
