Hi guys,
I've just finished building a freenas with the following specs:
Build Spec
Case: Node 304
MB: Asrock E3C226D21
CPU: E3-1271V3
Memory: CT2KIT102472BD160B (EEC)
Drives (6 in total): 4x WD Red3 3TB in Raid Z1 and 2x 1TB (WD + Samsung) in mirror
PSU: Seasonic G450
I'm pretty pleased with the device so far, however, I am disappointed with the AFP transfer speeds I'm getting. Last night Chronosync was backing up for this first time from my iMac to to Freenas at around 5MB/sec (40mbps). The 200GB transfer was still going on 6 hours later when I got up!
The network is all gigabit wired accept for the iMac, which is WIFI, but connects on 802.11AC to myAC router at 900mpbs. Previously is was using a Mac Mini (with external drives) in place of the freenas, but with the same networking components and was achieving much much faster transfers. Somewhere in the order of 400mbps.
The only change here is the freenas and the result is 10x slower??
Tonight I will try a direct cat6 line into the Asus 86U router just to eliminate the wifi element, but short of this, I'm at a loss as to what would cause the AFP transfer to be this slow.
Any ideas or tips to try and hunt this issue down would help.
