October 5, 201213 yr Hello all, I am currently migrating data to my new unRaid server build. I'm getting average speeds around 10 MB/sec. Based on reading around the forums, those are normal speeds for a 100Mbps connection, right? I'm running on a gigabit LAN. I don't think these are hardware related issues, but I can't be sure. Here is some pertinent information; can I please get some help figuring out the problem? Thanks! unRAID 4.7 configuration: Supermicro MBD-X9SCM-F-O Intel Core i3-3220 8 GB DDR3 ECC RAM WD 2TB WD20EARX (Data) Seagate 3TB (Parity - Not added to array yet) Seasonic X750 Router: Netgear WNDR3700 unRaid server and HTPC (source) are both connected directly to the router using cat6 cable. Both are confirming 1000 mbps connections.

October 5, 201213 yr Can you disable ACPI in BIOS? Otherwise add "acpi=off" to the "append" line in syslinux.cfg and reboot. It should look like this: append initrd=bzroot acpi=off
October 5, 201213 yr Assuming you are running Windows on the machine you're transferring FROM, open Task Manager then look at the Networking tab. Your Local Area Connection Link Speed should read 1Gbps. I had a problem with my Windows machine reverting to 10Mbps every once in a while during a large transfer so I went into the NIC properties and forced 1Gbps only instead of auto-detect. Hope that helps.

Assuming you are running Windows on the machine you're transferring FROM, open Task Manager then look at the Networking tab. Your Local Area Connection Link Speed should read 1Gbps. I had a problem with my Windows machine reverting to 10Mbps every once in a while during a large transfer so I went into the NIC properties and forced 1Gbps only instead of auto-detect. Hope that helps. Took a look here, but didn't ever see the connection link speed below 1Gbps. Took a look at my NIC properties, didn't see the option to force the speed. Update The problem seems to lie with the source computer, the HTPC, specifically, within Windows. I was able to boot from an Ubuntu live drive, on that same PC, and copy files to the unRaid server at much faster speeds (around 80 MB/sec for a test file a bit over 1 GB in size). This rules out any hardware issues or issues with the server configuration. So the question is, what settings in Windows do I need to change? I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the help so far...
