pyron Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I'm new to Unraid. I've been comparing Unraid and FreeNAS so far and Unraid seems easier to work with. However, The SMB transfer speeds are killing me. I get between 500 KB/s and 4MB/s (typically sitting at around 2-3 MB/s) when accessing via SMB. I've tested on both Windows and Mac and they're both extremely slow. Transfering a 12 GB movie file takes approximately 1 hour. With speeds like that, the whole NAS system is just unusable. System Specs: Ryzen 3600 16GB RAM WD RED 2x4TB (1 disk, 1 parity) 110 GB SSD for cache Unraid 6.8.3 I've already tried playing around with Tunable settings and nothing seems to work. Help. I also tried `/Shares/Browse` and downloading via HTTP. I still get around ~40 minutes to download that 12 GB file. Edited August 14, 2020 by pyron Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Run an iperf test to check your LAN. Quote Link to comment
pyron Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Oh. I thought I unpublished this topic. Thanks Johnnie, - I don't know what a `iperf` test is on my LAN, so links might be helpful for newbies when recommending solutions But for this specific issue - I found that adjusting the Tunable settings did the trick for me. After restarting, I discovered that this was a combination of slow wifi and slow SMB. After fixing SMB it seemed that nothing changed, when really - I had to also fix WiFi Quote Link to comment
