I have a NAS that is running slow. When I transfer a movie using my Windows 10 computer I get around 10 - 15Mbps. (upload) It is mainly used for movies and I have Plex media plug in set up.
I have the NAS plugged directly into the router with a CAT6 cable. The router is also an Linksys EA9500. With AC5400. When I run a iPerf test I get back 90,000 - 100,000kbits. (Hard lined, or 400,000kbits on wi-fi.)
I have FreeNAS 9.10.1 installed
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
8051MB RAM (4 2GB sticks, DDR3)
4TB WD RED drive WDBMMA0040HNC-NRSN
MB is a HP 6200 Small Form Factor Desktop
I believe the bottle neck is either my one HDD, or the RAM. My MB supports a maximum of 16GB's, and I could prob find a way to cram a second NAS HDD in there and config it in a RAID. Also, I want to know if i had to pick one, would I see better results with a second HDD or 16GB's of RAM? And how much of a difference should I expect to see by doing so. trying to figure out if i would see a day and night difference or not and if it is worth the investment in my little movie server.
