Hallo together,
my name is Moritz and I'm using XPEnology since a week with a brand new HP Microserver Gen 8 (G1610T, 2GB RAM, 2x 2TB WD Green).
Before the HP Mircoserver Gen 8 I used an Synology DS-211+ with the same above called WD Green 2x 2 TB in a RAID 1 (SHR).
Since I am using the HP Microserver I have a low LAN transfer rate.
The transfer rate is between 50-60 MB/s, no matter if I write or read to the NAS.
If I use a large file (like an 2 GB Patch) the rate starts with 115 MB/s, drops to 80 MB/s after 3-4 seconds and will stabilize at 60 MB/s after a few more seconds.
If I use a folder with a lot of small files, the rate is always between 50 and 60 MB/s.
I use an Cat 5e Cable and an TP-Link Gigabit-Switch. Also the direct connection between the PC (with SSD-Drive) and the NAS isn't faster.
I think in my Synology DS-211+ had have rates between 90-100 MB/s normally, no matter if I transfer one large file or a lot of small files.
Any idea why the transfer rate is that low? I mean it's fast enough but based on the performance I except a higher transfer rate on LAN the the DS-211+.
Thanks a lot,
Moritz
