June 29, 201412 yr Hi All, Are my write speeds inline with what I should expect? unRAID 5.05 with Plus license File to be transferred is a 1.15GB mkv Source machine OSX 10.9.3 transferring via SMB 100mbps LAN Hard drive SATAIII 7200RPM 3TB on a SATAII controller ~ 1:39 Corsair SSD Cache Drive on SATAIII controller, but only SATA II ~1:39 I was surprised that the SSD and parity protected HD has the same write times @ ~11.9mbps My wifi read/writes are atrocious, so I connected via LAN to make sure it is just the wifi, and not the server. Regards, Chris
June 29, 201412 yr Your 100 mbps LAN card is limiting you write speeds. 11 -12 mbps is what I would expect with a 100 mbps LAN card.
June 30, 201412 yr Even if your router limits you to 100mb LAN, you can add an inexpensive gigabit switch to connect your local machines together.
June 30, 201412 yr Even if your router limits you to 100mb LAN, you can add an inexpensive gigabit switch to connect your local machines together. If you do this you'll want cat 5e or cat 6 cables to connect the gigabit switch to your computers. Sent from a mobile device, sorry for any typos.
June 30, 201412 yr Author I'm going to purchase a little gigabit switch in the near future. I currently need to run some Cat5e or Cat6s, plus add a few drops. The unRAID box is in the basement, with a WDS connection to the main floor wifi router. It is killing my speeds. My main concern was that the server is working properly.
