Don't know if i have the correct area or not but has anyone had any issues where their RTL8125B based 2.5Gbe NIC running alot slower then 2.5Gbps in their TrueNAS scale systems? Below are my iperf results from my TrueNAS scale 22.12.2 box direct to my Windows 11 PC with a USB 3 to 2.5Gbps ethernet adapter.
The above results are when using the latest RTL8125 driver from Realtek (9.011.01) which i installed manually on the TrueNAS scale system. The performance was even worse with the default R8169 driver that TrueNAS scale uses for the NIC hence why i tried the other RTL8125 driver.
I am also using the latest Windows drivers from Realtek for my USB ethernet adaptor.
I am not sure if it's simply my old system i am using for TrueNAS scale simply can't handle the speed and is the cause of the issue or if there is something else going on here. I am thinking of testing UNRAID to see if i have the same performance issues but wanted to ask here if anyone had similar issues.
My TrueNAS scale system has an Intel Core i7 870 CPU, 16Gb DDR3 RAM, 2x Seagate Ironwolf 4Tb (ST4000VN006) mirrored.
When i was running iperf tests the CPU on TrueNAS Scale system didn't seem to be breaking a sweat (14% max utilization) so the only things i can think of here is that there is a driver and/or configuration issue or the PCIe and SATA system on my old machine cannot handle 2.5GBe ethernet.
