I’m new to FreeNAS and curious if my speeds look appropriate for my setup. I’m averaging 112MB/s transferring large files using CIFS from a Windows PC. I know these speeds are good, but do you think I can squeeze out any better transfer rates? Or, should I stop worrying and be happy? Any input/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
