Good evening all,
Let me just say I have been messing with servers and home labs for about 3 months now. I have been practicing on different things lately, and decided to give FreeNAS a try. I have it running on a VM (esxi) on my server. I have 2 "pools" is the right terminology, one is for a MAC and one is for a Windows pc on my network. Had some problems with windows and gaining access to the share. Once I got past that problem I decided to transfer a few things to the new FreeNas storage. I am noticing I was getting 100mbps in the beginning but then stayed constant at 30mbps. I am not sure why I am getting such horrible speeds. My network is setup like this; I use pfSense as my router/firewall (which is a VM on my server). Then I have FreeNas spun up in a VM on Esxi. My pfsense then connects to my 4 port switch where my windows pc is hard wired. It's a pretty simple setup but I can't figure out why I'm getting such low speeds. Can someone please give me some advice to what is actually going on here? I am new to this and would appreciate some feedback!
Thanks for your time,
drinky.
