When I first built my unraid server I was getting pretty decent read and write speeds.  Somewhere between 40-60mB/s depending on the file.  Now I am getting around 6-9 MB/s when writing to it.  Been using it mainly for file storage and running a windows VM that I got my VIVE connected to.  I was also using it to store most of my steam library of games that I only play occasionally.  I for the life of me can not figure out why copying files and movies to my share is going almost 10 times slower now.  

The only thing that has changed is adding a 1tb ssd w/ unassigned drives that I thought would fix my issue with slow read and write(obviously did not).  I am also using a powerline adaptor to connect to the router, but that was done after I started having this issue.

If you guys could give me any ideas of troubleshooting steps that would be greatly appreciated!

I'm afraid I don't understand this. How is an Unassigned Device supposed to speed up reads and writes to anything else in the system? Unassigned Devices are independent from the parity array or cache pool and accessing an Unassigned Device has nothing at all to do with accessing other things.

Why are you doing this now when you weren't doing it before? I think you need to eliminate this complication from troubleshooting.

 

Some of your system share is not on cache.

Well for the games share it loaded so much faster using cache only.  So I thought I would just add another SSD.  Was pretty confident this wasn't going to fix the issue.

My buddy needed a place to stay so I had to move my computer out of the extra room; where the modem and router are.   And now using a powerline adaptor into the router where the server is also plugged into the router.

Unassigned Devices are not part of Unraid User Shares.

I am aware.  But I fixed the issue.  I was using my router as a switch and  put it into bridge mode.  Or so I thought.  Apparently it wasn't in bridge mode and I was double Nat.  Which I don't think should cause such a slow down that I was experiencing.  But after returning to bridge mode.  I am able to write to my unassigned ssd at around 90MB/s now instead of 6-7MB/s
