Hi,
I have just set up a nas box with all new hardware: corei3, 8gb ram and 3xWD 2tb green drives and the latest stable freenas. I also have a gigabit switch with cat6 cable.
However when ii try and transfer data from a windows machine via cable, for 10 seconds or so it runs at 40gb/s then over the next 30 seconds it slows down to several kb/s.
My question is could this be one if the disks failing?
Are there any other things it could be? The windows machine is an old i5 laptop that has seen better days.
Any suggestions would be helpful
