Hi guys
im trying to replace a old NAS box (SMB1, and 2x mirrorred 1TB 7200rpm drives) - Fyi i get copy speeds around 20-25mb (1x gigabit nic)
ive just built a freenas ESXI VM on a dell R720 server, using LSI 9211 HBA card as passthrough for the drives.
Im running:
FreeNAS-11.2-U6
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 0 @ 2.70GHz (4 cores)
8 GiB ram
6 x 2TB Seagate BarraCude 2.5inch 5400rpm 128mb cache drives - in RAID-Z2
1x gigabit nic (currently configured)
Freenas auths with AD on windows server 2019 VM (same box)
SMB3 share
SMB service has additional "nfs4:mode = simple" set so permissions work for AD users.
however, testing the transfer speed between a nvme client on the network and Freenas, im getting very slow speed with big spikes. 500kb to 100mb/s but mainly slow.
also browsing through folders is slow to responsed.
most all settings are default. what can i do to speed it up?? what have i done wrong?
PS: the HDDs are not ideal :( but can't afford enterprise 2.5inch drives.
