Good afternoon to everyone,
I'am new to FreeNAS and I'm struggling with some strange network behaviour and low trasfer speed.
I upgraded my old configuration to meet a "decent" quality for running a home backup server without any big expectations.
I use Dell T1600 workstation with Xeon 31225 processor, 12 Gb of RAM, 1 pool with 5 x 500Gb WD Blue hard disks RAID z and and Intel Gigabit network card.
The machine is connected to a gigabit switch integrated into the router.
After setting up the pool I transferred a 50 Gb of files to the pool with max speed about 50 MB/s (first peak in the graphs attached). Then I tried again and suddendly the speed dropped to about 4 MB/s (second lower peak). After restarting the router I managed to get a speed upgrade but only to 8 MB/s (third peak). Now is again capped at 4 MB/s.
Do you think that the problem could be the router and its integrated switch? Or there can be other solutions?
Thank you in advance for any advise
