First my hardware stats:
Since upgrading versions I've noticed videos have been pausing while watching them (over SMB) Plex seems to be fine. I also notice when transferring files the transfer speed will be consistent then drop way down only to recover shortly after. It could very well be that these issues were present before but only now exacerbated after the update as sometimes during movies they would glitch out a bit but nowhere near as bad as it has been.
Not sure what to check first, as it could be the hard drives, could be the network. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to best test hard drive speeds and the best way to iperf?
