Hi,
I've been running freenas for a while now, but i was not too pleased with the speeds at which it worked. i was getting 10MB transfers to it. Now i have run a dedicated network cable to it, giving it a fixed IP, and hooked it to an extra network card I inserted to the pc from which i'm using the NAS. Now i get transfers upto 35 MB.
The machine is an I3 with 16 gigs of ram, and an intel onboard network card. 6HDD's running in RAID-Z2
My question, is the 35MB/sec a good speed? And if not, what could i do to improve it, any guides you could point me to that i could use to get more out of the line? As there are GB network interfaces (intel) on both sides, i would hope to be able to get a bit more from it, or not?
I'm wont be around the next day, but allready wanted to ask the question, so that i can start looking into it when i get back.
UPDATE/SOLUTION: One of the cards was a PCI card, I replaced it with a PCI-express network card, write speeds jumped to 110MB/S
thanks,
Kristof
