Your crystal disk speeds look fine, your problem is your switch. Get a 1Gb switch, they are $20.
For those tests it doesn't look to me (I may be wrong) that you are testing any FreeNas share... Normally, I would map a drive to it and then in the "Select Folder" I will ensure that it is using the mapped drive:I did some tests. How do these results compare to yours?
I was wondering why it is saying "select folder" after I did select the FreeNAS drive. I am certain the tests were being done on the FreeNAS volume because I could see the temporary files appearing on the NAS drive as the tests were taking place.For those tests it doesn't look to me (I may be wrong) that you are testing any FreeNas share...

Example ("Z" is a drive mapped to a FreeNas CIFS Share):

Yes i will get one. Which switch would you recommend that supports link aggregation?Your crystal disk speeds look fine, your problem is your switch. Get a 1Gb switch, they are $20.

What was the source? That is probably the bottleneck.CrystalDisk aside, what are the actual transfer speeds that you get? I copied a Windows 10 ISO file to the NAS and I get around 15-18Mb/s
You will not benefit from link aggregation....Yes i will get one. Which switch would you recommend that supports link aggregation?
Okay I will go do that. Also, what is "dd"?OK you need to learn some stuff before you start testing performance. Go learn how to use dd to test your zfs filesystem. Then learn how to test your network with iperf after you have done that you will know your performance of freenas if you are getting something less than that when moving files around then your client is the slow piece. From what I can tell your problems are all the client machine my
Can you at least tell me why I will not benefit from it?You will not benefit from link aggregation....
I hope you realize that it would behoove you to actually research this stuff before jumping in.Can you at least tell me why I will not benefit from it?
There is a limit to how much I can research in a certain amount of time. And I've been trying to research all the things I need to research. However, I cannot just not take any action until i've learnt everything 100%... I wasn't going to order it right away anyway. But thanks for looking out for me ;) I'll go study more. However in the mean time I would appreciate it if you sum up why it would not benefit me.I hope you realize that it would behoove you to actually research this stuff before jumping in.

You act like you are frantically trying to figure stuff out on the fly, when all this stuff is documented and to some extent a very basic understanding of networking in general.
I provided you with a link that contains the answers. If you cannot take the initiative to click the link and do some reading, do not expect me to do the work for you.There is a limit to how much I can research in a certain amount of time.

Yes, i'm fully aware of that. If you took the initiative and read my comment you would understand that I do not 'expect' you to do 'the work'. I told you there is a limit to how much I can research in a certain amount of time which should indicate I currently don't have the capacity to read and learn all the information in the link you gave me. That's why I said I 'appreciate' it if you summed up why it would not benefit me. There is a difference between appreciating something and expecting something.I provided you with a link that contains the answers.

It's half-baked to just warn someone without specific reasoning. You just create doubt in them and make it worse. Yes, you provided the link to the information I need however I told you I did not have the capacity to sit and learn it right now as i'm learning other things.I commented to warn you of the fact that link aggregation will not benefit you. I provided a link to the information you need.
Why are you rushing the learning? Are you on your deathbed trying to finish a server build as part of a 'bucket list'? A proper server takes lots of time and planning. You are rushing things for no reason from OUR perspective.
If you think I was trolling you have a lot to learn about this forum. We are here to help, but those that are too lazy to take the time are not our target audience.
If YOU are trying to start an argument about whether YOUR time is somehow more important than mine, YOU can go elsewhere. I can lend a hand with that if you like.
The original comment is intended to invoke a single thought. "Why would link aggregation not benefit me?". That should spark a desire to learn why. I fail to see how that is making anything worse. I am saving you time in the future by NOT having to research why you aren't seeing any benefit.It's half-baked to just warn someone without specific reasoning.
And this is somehow MY fault that you do not have the capacity? What exactly does that mean?I told you I did not have the capacity to sit and learn it right now as i'm learning other things.
How the hell am I the one that is lazy if you freely admit that you simply cannot learn anything?If anyone is lazy here it's you not me. (As I don't have the capacity to sit and learn more from the link you've sent me.)
Welcome to the forums, where it is public. Where anyone can comment on anything they desire and have their opinion stated. Your opinion is that you are somehow too busy/unwilling to learn the info provided to you. My opinion is that this is lazy. Welcome to the internet.No body forced you to comment on my post anyway.
Well, unfortunately that's not the thought it invoked as people are different... You should take that thought into consideration.The original comment is intended to invoke a single thought.

Stop bending my words. I never said it is your fault that I do not currently have the capacity for the information you threw at me. What I meant was it is your fault for saying I'm lazy and I don't take the initiative to click the link and do some reading when i've told you I don't currently have the capacity for it. That's provocative behaviour.And this is somehow MY fault that you do not have the capacity? What exactly does that mean?
I freely admitted that I 'currently' don't have the capacity to learn it; in the comment before that. Stop twisting my words just to have something to say. Alright?How the hell am I the one that is lazy if you freely admit that you simply cannot learn anything?
Nope... You welcome to the forums. 'Where anyone can comment on anything they desire and have their opinion stated"? Is that why you indirectly threatened to 'lend me a hand' with going somewhere else? Also, they can comment on anything they desire not anything they desire. If you're being a bully, and are being provocative and rude you should not have the right to comment. My opinion is not that I am 'somehow too bust/unwilling to learn'. My opinion is that I should not be called lazy and get told I do not take the initiative when I have openly told the opposing person that I CURRENTLY don't have the capacity to learn the information provided to me. I never 'expected' you to do anything for me. All I said was I would appreciate it if you sum up why it would not benefit me. "I WOULD APPRECIATE IT"...Welcome to the forums, where it is public.
