shimi269 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 My Unraid server is connected via ethernet (1000 mbps) and so is my PC. When I transfer a file from Unraid to my PC (via SMB shares) I get 2MB down, and when I transfer a file from my PC to Unraid I get 40MB up. Now when I use the wireless connection on my PC instead of Ethernet (5Ghz channel) and I transfer a file from Unraid to my PC (via SMB shares) I get 50MB down, and when I transfer a file from my PC to Unraid I get 70MB up. I have no idea why having a wired connection is giving me a much slower speed! Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Seems like something is not right with you ethernet config. Can you post you diagnostics in your next post ? (Tools / Diagnostics) This would help the guys that have some knowledge to propose some fixes. Quote Link to comment

shimi269 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Update: I ran iperf, both as client and server and it saturated the full GB connection. So still at a loss why the transfer speeds between the server and my PC are so slow on a wired connection. Windows 10 issue maybe? Quote Link to comment
shimi269 Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Update 2: Issue is fixed, it was SMB 3 transfer issues (known to be the cause on Windows 10), put 'max protocol = SMB2_02' on SMB Extras under settings. 1 Quote Link to comment

Instead of using max protocol, I'm using server min protocol = SMB3_11 client min protocol = SMB3_11 I don't know if it actually causes me any problems or not ... guess I never really bothered to look / investigate... maybe I should try to get the best settings possible but boy that's a headache to speed test everything reliably...

Just pull down a file from your SMB share and if you are saturating your network speed, then it's all good. I believe this isn't an issue on all machines running Windows 10, just happened to be the issue with mine. Quote Link to comment

I believe this isn't an issue on all machines running Windows 10, just happened to be the issue with mine. I pulled linuxmint-20-mate-64bit.iso (1.91GB) from my array to my main SSD drive and it was consistent around 90-95MB/s. Not really sure how that translates on a typical GB network. Writing the iso back to the array was a good 110MB/s consistently. Quote Link to comment
