I have been happily running unraid for many years.  My server was running Vs 5.0.6.

 

I recently decided to build a completely new server as the old one was running out of space and slots and anyway some of the disks are 5 years old now.  It has all new everything including 4 x10 tb seagate drives, thus achieving in 4 slots what my old server could do with 10 slots.  It is running unraid vs 6.3.1

 

I have just finished copying everything from the old to the new server via windows and was hitting speeds of 60-70 Mb/s.  The old server never got much above 40Mb/s and was mainly 25-30 Mb/s.  Pretty happy so far.

 

However I just copied a big file from my PC to the new server and hit speeds over 100 Mb/s per second.  Can this be right.  This seems impossibly fast given it has to write parity as well.  I have no cache drive.  Parity is showing green and everything appears normal but those speeds are freaking me out a bit.

 

Is this normal these days?

Initial transfer is cached to RAM, depending on how much RAM you have and the file size it can be the whole file.

 

 

Your title question was good for a laugh, thank you! 

 

I really don't think I've heard anyone complain that a computer was too fast since the old 286/386 days when faster machines came with a "turbo" button to run the CPU at a slower clock rate because games were timed based on the CPU clock ticks and games would literally run to quickly to be playable.
