XS708E Slow Throughput?
Hi I have my windows PC connected using the X540-T2 NIC with a cat 6A cable and only getting about 400MB/s to my Netgear 524X... Not sure if I should be getting more? Other NAS's should be able to pu...
I'm using the default XRAID2 setup (RAID5) and there are 4 x 4TB drives SATA 6Gbps... One drive can do roughly 300MB/s so I should be able to see more than 400MB/s...... I have not yet tried connecting directly to the PC though. Doing a sync right now with another NAS that is running - this has not impacted performance at all. Also resync is running. Once these jobs are done I'll retest.
Thanks enkryptd3,
The 300MB/s it's really in an ideal situation but really difficult to replicate in a real environment, normally we get arround 100MB/s on a really good environment (see below a performance test):
With RAID 5 and 4 drives you can expect to boost the 100MB/s to arround 200-300MB/s consistent throughput.
But please let us know what are your results with your latest tests.
