Hello all.  I'm having trouble with extremely slow transfer speeds.  I'm getting about 500KB/s currently.  I've got an ADATA 120Gb SSD as a cache, and a 3Tb HDD for mass storage.  Here's how it's all connected: The server is connected via the onboard ethernet port to a 500Mb/s powerline adapter, which connects to my router, which connects to my computer via another 500Mb/s powerline adapter.  I'm transferring files from an SSD on my computer to the server.  Any ideas why my speeds are so slow?  Thanks!

Have you tried running ethernet between the two to see if the issue is the powerline adapter?

 

When you say slow transfer speeds what are you doing to determine this? Are you looking at windows explorers estimate? Is this on reads or writes from the rotating disk? Reads or writes from the ssd cache? Are you copying many small files in the KB range or a few large files?

 

 

I've got a rainmeter setup to show upload and download speeds in realtime.  I know it's going extremely slowly since it takes about 1.5 days to copy 150Gb.  The problem is not the powerline adapters.  On my computer I can download items at more than 20 MB/s from the internet.  This is a problem on the server side.  I have tried connecting the server and the computer together, but could not get it to work.  I'm copying a number of large video files.

Your desktop downloading from the internet proves that you can at least get 20MB/s over that particular segment of the powerline adapter network. But that doesn't prove the powerline adapter being use with the server is capable of getting 20MB/s.

 

Is there any way you could move the server next to the router, so you can plug it in with ethernet? Or unplug the server and plug a laptop into the same powerline adpater and do a speed test. The laptop test would confirm its not the powerline adapter
