Down SMB speeds dropped.

[Mr.Mickkazzie]

So i have been running Freenas 11 for about 1 month now. My setup is nothing special with a Ivy Bridge G3020 Dual Core, 8 GB DDR3, 3x2 TB Hitachi Used Drives and 1x1 WD Blue 1TB on a Z77 Mpower mobo. The problem i face is that my upload to the NAS is still 110 Mbps but my download from the NAS has dropped from 105-110 Mbps to 90 Mbps, but during transfers can tank as low as 10 Mbps. The network at my home is a 1 Gbps with Cat6 cables and a cheap TP-Link 5 port switch.

The other PCs on the network still transfer between each other at over 100 Mbps. I am in need of help because I do move files on the NAS back to different PCs for editing.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Can you test connectivity using iperf and post the results here using the [ code ] tags.

 

[Mr.Mickkazzie]

OK, how do you get iperf to work inside the Freenas enviornment?

Okay, i figured it out by watching a video, oddly it says that my Transfer=29.3 GBytes and Bandwidth=25.2 Gbits/sec.
