What is the typical LAN speed on this TrueNAS software.

A new question. What is the typical LAN speed on this TrueNAS software. I have 100mb but was hoping to increase to 1gig on my LAN. Only using 1 computer and the NAS computer.

A new question.

Really should be in a new thread, in an appropriate subforum with an appropriate title.

TrueNAS itself will handle whatever your network will--I'd suspect by far the most common network speed would be 1 Gbit/sec.

I have 100mb

Are you quite sure? Gigabit network equipment has been the norm for decades at this point.

What is the typical LAN speed on this TrueNAS software.

Typical LAN speeds are 1Gbps, by far and away the most common speed, followed at some distance by 10Gbps, see the following article,

10 Gig Networking Primer

This is a discussion of high speed networking for newcomers, with specific emphasis on practical small- to medium-scale deployments for home labs or small office users. It originated with a forum thread located here that has many pages of...

which will help you build a fast and inexpensive 10 gig network. Beyond that, there's a smattering of 2.5Gbps, 40Gbps, 25Gbps, 100Gbps, and even 100Mbps. Not all of these are using well supported hardware and so you may not actually get the expected speeds. Using recommended hardware and following the tuning advice in the Resources section will typically land you at 90%+ of the theoretical speed for most setups.

Yeah, I moved it.

Wow, that's a close shave for that 's', danb35. Commodity 1G gear really only came into play in the 2003-2004 timeframe; if we were to pick nits, that would only be 19-20 years, so your 's' on decades is dubious at best. There was clearly 1G hardware before that point, such as the Dell 5012 (2001 era IIRC) and other larger chassis switches, but at a price point north of $100 a port, it's hard to refer to that as widely used/widely available.

so your 's' on decades is dubious at best

Well, two still counts as plural, but agreed it's pretty close. Though I think the point is still valid--gigabit networking has been the norm for a relative eternity in "computer years."

Two counts as plural but one point nine does not.
