I have a question about the deference in file transfer speed with large files vs small files.
For example I was moving some Blu-ray rips from my desktop to the FreeNas box and was getting about 109 MB/s according to windows, it was about 200 or so GB of data the files were around 25~30 GB each.
I also moved about 100 Gb of music to the Nas box and my transfer speed is cut in half around 40-55ish MB/s
Why is this ?
Does it have to do with the data being scattered across the drive with smaller files?
My Nas
Supermicro 1155 mobo
E3-1280v2 cpu
16Gb ddr3 Ecc unreg memory
LSI 9240 with 8 1TB seagate Hds
