So I ran into a problem and I have no idea what could be wrong:
I have an Asrock J4205-ITX running DS916+ image (bare metal), 6.1 update 6. Works fine except for network transfer speeds.
Everything on gigabit connections. NAS is 5 feet away from my MacPro. MacPro has 4 NIC cards link aggregated, through a TP Link Managed switch (with link aggregation). The NAS has 4 gigabit connections as well (1 built in NIC, 3 Plugable USB 3.0 Gigabit ethernet E1000 dongles). All 4 list as 1000 MB, full duplex, 1500 under the network settings. All are link aggregated, and seem to work fine.
My speeds? 16 MB write, 300 read. WTF
(i've tried both under SMB and AFP). SMB3 enabled.
I have 4 WD Gold 4TB drives in it, 7200 rpm.
Same exact setup, I get 75 MB write, 900 read in unRaid (still slow for what it is I think, but a lot more acceptable). Turning on jumbo frames didn't do much...
(I get 75 MB write on AFP; SMB is about 35 MB in unRaid)
Should I try a DS3615 image? I dont need hardware acceleration, since I'm only using it to stream to a Kodi media box.
I dont think it's the NIC, since all are reporting full speed and one is bound to work. Btw, there seems to be no difference in speed with link aggregation on vs. off. I'm stumped. Maybe I'm just tired, but I can't think of anything that I might have done wrong.
Anyone care to chime in?
