I am facing issues of not getting 10G Speeds when connecting from Windows to TrueNAS.
I did some testing using iperf3 and it seems that i never get more the 2 Gbps on a 10G NIC when i am communicating between TrueNAS and the Windows 10 Machine.
Below are some Performance stats using iPerf3:

Below is the current hardware Setup:
Windows 10 Machine:
------------------------
Dell T320 Server
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2420 v2 @ 2.20GHz
8GB ECC DDR3 RAM
2 x 146GB 15k SAS Disks for TrueNAS OS
Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad Port Gigabit Adapter
Intel X520 Dual Port 10Gigabit Adapter
TrueNAS Machine:
------------------------
Dell T320 Server
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2420 v2 @ 2.20GHz
12GB ECC DDR3 RAM
2 x 146GB 15k SAS Disks for TrueNAS OS
Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad Port Gigabit Adapter
Intel X520 Dual Port 10Gigabit Adapter
LSI SAS 9201-16e Quad Port 6Gbps SAS HBA
EMC 60 Disks Expansion
40 x 3TB NL-SAS Disks
TrueNAS Version: TrueNAS-12.0-U6.1
Note: I understand that i am using a lot less RAM that required for the setup with respect to the storage but i haven't yet reached to that stage of testing the actual Disk Performance. I seem to have a bottleneck at the Network layer.
I Tried enabling Jumbo Frames on Windows but that seems to have no effect. So i disabled it again.
