Epitome Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hi, I recently set up an Unraid NAS/Server a few days ago for the first time. I'm absolutely loving it so far. However, I believe I am getting questionable read/write speeds. I have a single cache SSD (120 GB). However, when I try to write to a share, I'm only getting 10-12 MB/s. To my understanding, this is a bit slow. The share has "Use cache (for new files/directories):" set to "Yes". So, it should be utilising my SSD. I will note that my NAS is connected directly to my router and the PC that I am using is connected to that router via powerline adapters. These are the powerline adapters that I am using: https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa9020p-kit/ This kit can handle transfers of up to 2000 Mbps, so I don't think the kit itself is throttling my speeds at all. Is it possible that the wiring in my house that the adapters use is the bottleneck? I suspect this is the case, unfortunately, but I'm hoping I may have missed some sort of set up option or configured something incorrectly. Is there any way I can improve my read/write speeds? Thanks in advance. As a side note, list some fun ideas/projects that I might want to try with my new Unraid set up . I'm excited to try lots of things on Unraid. ________________________________________________ My set up: Ryzen 3 2200G 16GB 3000 MHz ram 2 x 4TB WD Red Pro 120 GB SandDisk SSD GTX 760 2GB Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Run iperf to check max lan bandwidth, issue is probably related to the powerline adapters. 1 Quote Link to comment
Epitome Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm quite new to this. How exactly would I go about this? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Download iperf for your desktop, for Unraid you can install it with the nerdpack plugin, running iperf is very easy, you can just Google it. Quote Link to comment
