July 20, 20187 yr I made the move and put my server on Unraid, this mainly runs Plex and has heaps of storage. On my PC if i go to play a video over my network from my server it is choppy and doesn't really load. If i drag the video and drop the file onto my desktop i only get 300-700kb/s I tested that all the on board nic's are 1gbps All network cables are Cat6 I ran disk speed tests on my server, Cache drive was about 530MB/s, data drives had a peak of 180 and a low of 90MB/s Running a speed test shows i am maxing my internet connection out. Why am i getting this restriction? what other tests can i do? Thanks

First time i have used iperf but tests did show i indeed had a network issue. Was running at 3.2Mbits. I have now resolved the issue on my router.
