Lappen Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi, I'm wondering if my Unraid box is performing as it should. I have measured my speed when copying to my cache drive to 30 Mbps. This is a 1Gb wired Macbook Pro to my unraid box where cache drive is SSD. Is it a fair transfer speed? Or could someone guide me in performing some other tests to see if my setup is in perfect condition. Tia/Lappen Quote Link to comment
Zonediver Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 When i transfere Files from Windows to my unRAID-SSD over LAN, i got 100-115MB/s (800-920MBit) - so... I think, the Macbook is the bottleneck 3 Things are involved: 1) Source-Drive 2) LAN 3) Target Drive If one is slow, all is slow Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Well, either that or he doesn't have the share he's copying to enabled for cache. Please check the share settings for the share and confirm "use cache disk" is set to yes. Quote Link to comment
Lappen Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for your replies. I'm writing directly to the cache drive and not a share. I'll try to make some tests writing to different disks and shares with and without cache enabled...just to see the differences. I'll try another source...but sourcedrive is also ssd. I'm wondering if it could be the onboard NIC? What's the prober way to measure transfer speeds? tia/Lappen Quote Link to comment
Zonediver Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 On Windows, i am using the Tool "Networx" Or you use a Stoppwatch - also working. Quote Link to comment
MPR Files Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I use a 2 year old MacBook Pro (and MacBook Air) for testing internet services. I can consistently send and receive over 700Mbps of TCP from the built in (via Thunderbolt on the MBA) ethernet port. Unless your Macbook is old, I doubt it's the Macbook NIC. Quote Link to comment
Lappen Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm really out of ideas... To eliminate any switch or router, I connected my laptop directly to my Unraid box with a crossover cable. Ran some speedtests and still getting 40 Mbps write to the cache drive and 450 Mbps read. On the Unraid GUI I can see some network drops when receiving. Could it be the onboard NIC on my motherboard thats faulty? Can I do some other tests to narrow down the problem. Tia/Lappen Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What does "ifconfig" and "ethtool eth0" output? Quote Link to comment

dgaschk Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Test with BlackMagicDesign Disk Speed Test. It's free in the OS X app store. Quote Link to comment
