February 3, 20206 yr Hello, I am using Unraid on an old laptop just to host some files and use it as a plex server. It has 16gb of ram, i7, and a 256gb ssd (all I really need). It is connected via ethernet and has unraid setup with the ssd as disk 1 (don't need backups or parity as of right now). Normally I should be getting at least 5-600 mbps over wifi right? Since it is an SSD and connected over LAN (the client is on wifi), the data should be as fast as the wifi is for the router. Currently I am getting 2MB/s (around 16mbps) which seems quite slow for transferring files over LAN. Am I doing something seriously wrong (other than running UNRAID on a laptop) Thanks!
February 3, 20206 yr Try connecting the client wired instead of wireless and see where it benchmarks.
