December 28, 20196 yr I'm testing my new unRAID server, and copying files over the network are really slow. I know that adding SSD for cache will improve writing speeds, but without cache, I was expected 40 to 50 MB/s, and right now, copying files from PC to server doesn't go higher than 11 MB/s, why? Any special setting that I need to enable?

I have seen it happen unexpectedly if you have a bad connection in a LAN cable which then silently degrades to only supporting 100 Mbps instead of the expected 1 GBPs.
December 28, 20196 yr Author You were right, the connection in the switch was questionable. Now the speed has improved. However, I'm surprised, because I was copying from a Windows PC, and I paused the copy, then when I resumed the speed went up to 440MB/s, but now then copying stuck on 99% for a few minutes.
