BrianB Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi all, I am currently running a fairly old UnRaid system (hardware-wise) that typically writes at 10MB/s. I see others reporting 20-30 without cache drives (I don't have a cache). What sort of information can I supply that would help with determining how I can increase performance? Is there a way to know what motherboard, memory and CPU I have without opening the case (i.e. remotely)? I'm currently on 5.06 and the system has been working well for at least several months. Thanks! Brian Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sounds like you don't have Gigabit ethernet. Nobody can get more than 10 or so with 100Mb ethernet. Quote Link to comment
BrianB Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 The computer I'm reading/writing to is new, so I'm assuming it is Gigabit, but if the card/MB in the NAS is not, then all I need to do is add a network card? How can I check for sure? (I know the network switch is Gigabit.) B. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 From the command line, what do you get with this? ethtool eth0 Quote Link to comment
BrianB Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full advertised link modes: same link partner advertised link modes: same as above Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full There was more, but this is what you are after, no?

trurl Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes, that shows that you only have 100Mb ethernet on the server. Quote Link to comment
BrianB Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Is this all I need then? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 B. Quote Link to comment

A quick search of the forums seems to suggest that others have had success with this card and unRAID dating back to v5. Just make sure you have a spare PCIe port, if of course this is how you want to use that port. Quote Link to comment
BrianB Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Can't believe I didn't do this before! Thanks for the help! Now, I will have to check into a cache pool. Do I need v6 for this? Thanks, Brian Quote Link to comment
