April 17, 20206 yr Got my server up and running. Array is running and parity drive has completed parity sync. I went to go and start pulling all my data off my old nas to unraid server and speeds showed as low as under 1mb/sec. My network is setup as 1 gig network. My connection shows up on unraid as 1000mbps, full duplex, mtu 1500. Does anyone have any ideas what to look for and why my speeds aren't around 100mb/sec transfer like it should?
April 17, 20206 yr Author So i just tried 2 different scenarios. One was with folder of photos and that was what caused slow transfer speeds. When i tried transferring video files then that is where i started to see my 113 mb/sec transfer speed. Now this only lasted for so long then it dropped down to about 40-50 mb/sec. Could this be because i dont have my cache drive installed into server yet? I received it yesterday and was planning on installing it this weekend. Would it be a better idea to wait until cache drive is installed before i try to bring over all my data?

I wasn't sure i only ran for about a minute and the folder was probably close to 100gb worth of pictures. Guess i should've waited before cancelling the transfer.

Depends on what you prefer, you can see the differences by enabling the GUI help.
