So I built a new PC and setup my old one to use FreeNAS. I have everything talking to each other but the transfer rates seem much slower than expected. I am seeing only about 2-3MBps over wireless N and on a hardwired connection about 5MBps. For the hardware I am using an AMD Athlon 7850, 4GB RAM, 320GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD (not much storage I know but this is just a test run to see if this will be a viable option for me) also the NIC is Gb and has LEDs on the back to indicate the mode it is in and it indicates that it is in Gb mode. As far as FreeNAS goes I haven't done much, just setup a basic CIFS share following the FreeNAS user guide.
I have been doing a bit of testing on my end to figure out what is going on and I am stumped. I have ran iperf and it is showing between 18-20Mbps transfer speeds. This result came from a wireless N Windows 7 desktop wireless signal strength is good and shows 108Mbps constant connection.
From the user guide I also enabled "Large RW support", "Send files with sendfile(2)", and "Enable AIO" none of these options made a difference in performance. I have also read others having this similar issue get great throughput on ftp, so I setup ftp and once again I got about the same bandwidth.
Let me know if more info is needed? What else should I be checking?
