Hannibal Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Well i'm dumb to say the least that transfer speed was between two mechanical drives (WD red in my unraid box to a WD green in my windows machine) but however just transferred from my WD green to my cache in unraid and saw about 400 mb/s still seems a little low for a 10gb connection....

Id recommend looking at running iperf to test line speed, samba and unraid has some overhead to it. https://elkano.org/blog/testing-10g-network-iperf/ Tim Quote Link to comment
Hannibal Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 alright to adjust this on the unraid side and sorry if this is a dumb question but do i just SSH into the unraid machine? still kinda new to unraid so was not sure if they're is a terminal built into unraid that im missing somewhere...

Hannibal Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yes I am using windows and I have putty... Another thing I was wondering about is if you can use the mellanox mlxup firmware tool within a putty SSH to the unraid machine... Quote Link to comment

Hannibal Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 so then if i wanted to update the mellanox card in that unraid machine would i essentially have to pull it out of that pc and put it into another one to perform a firmware upgrade? Quote Link to comment
