Hello Again,

I'm still learning with FreeNAS and I'm kind of up and running but I'm having some issues with transfer speeds.

I used to get around 90MB/s when copying over ethernet and 25ish over wifi. Now I don't know what's changed but I'm getting 30MB/s over ethernet and kB/s over wifi.

I've installed an Intel Gb NIC instead of using an onboard Broadcom NIC but no changes. I'll try to replace the network cable as it's provably the lowest quality cat 5e cable I have. But I think there is something else.

Could I get some basic pointers as to how check what could be the cause or any guides?

Computers are running Windows 7.

Thanks and regards!

Please also describe the switch or router being used.

Please post your detailed system specs and FreeNAS version.

In addition to the above questions, how full is your pool? At 90%, performance starts to tank.

Do you run scheduled SMART tests on your drives? Have you noticed any problems with them?
