Hi everyone—I am planning to do a clean install of FreeNAS Corral over my current FreeNAS build, and I wanted to back up everything on the server. I then noticed that transfer speeds when downloading files from the server to my notebook are rather slow and oscillate between 100 and 850 Mbps periodically:
The NICs on my server and in my notebook, and my router all support full Gigabit throughput, and the cable itself is Cat 6A STP. For some reason, uploads to the server from my notebook are nearly twice as fast, and are consistently fast:
The curious thing is that downloading starts off at speeds of 800 Mbps or so, and then fall quickly to roughly half that. What gives? How do I fix this? I was transferring files through simple SMB shares; has overhead of that got to do anything with the lousy speeds? Specs of my server are in my signature.
Thanks in advance.
