Start with attaching your Diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics -> attach zip file in your next post). Preferably while you are doing some transfer via the network bridge (i.e. without any passed-through NIC).

There's little to diagnose without diagnostics.

 

Also state what's your expected performance. What speed is "terrible"?

Have you done any iperf test?

I have a T5810 too but I cannot boot unraid on it. Is there anything special to setup in Bios or the USB flash to make unraid bootable? I tried the USB stick which was bootable in HP Z400 and other laptop.

Not sure what your setup is but make sure in the bios that's it's set to usb boot.
