Hey freenas-users,
thank you all for your support in advance. I changed the mainboard of my freenas-server and now I have significant performance problems. Maybe you can help me:
I ran the following first setup for 1/2 year without any problems:
- ASROCK B85M PRO4
- 1x 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Ram (PC1600, 16GB, CL9)
- Intel i3 4160T
- 5x Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 (3TB)
- KINGSTON SSD for the FreeNAS OS
I messaured the speeds (of the old setup) with CrystalDisk Mark with results ~>110MBytes/s.

After I g0t deeper into FreeNAS and used it more, I wanted to upgrade to an ECC compatible mainboard.
My new setup is:
- ASROCK E3C226D2I
- 2x 8GB Kingston ValueRAM - DDR3 - 8 GB - DIMM 240-PIN - 1600 MHz / PC3-12800 - CL11
- Intel i3 4160T
- 5x Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 (3TB)
- KINGSTON SSD for the FreeNAS OS
The PROBLEM is that after changing mainboard + ram the transfer rates are significantly lower! I measure speeds (of the new setup) around and below 90 MBytes/s:

The FreeNAS configurations are very basic (just user/group, volume and cifs) and of course they are the same on both meassurements.
Because I transfer and store a lot of media files, I need every single MB/s :D
Please help me if you have any idea why the performance dropped and how to solve that!
Thank you!
