RAX120 router - SSD file transfer slow with 5gbe ethernet connection
Hello everyone, I recently purchased 1. RAX120 AX6000 router (connected to CM1200 cable modem with monoprice CAT8 ethernet cable) 2. 15 feet Monoprice CAT8 ethernet cable connects the RAX120 ro...
- Just to close the topic.
I tested large file transfer on network with another ssd and top speeds are same around 150mb/sec and there was no speed slow down on the way.
I realized that speed slow down problem is related with my current ssd. I tested my current ssd with a direct connection to my computer and shows the same gradual slow down.
As a result, this router is able to provide around 150mb/sec with fastest hard drives without any geadual slow down. If anybody experience gradual slow down during large file transfer, I recommend them to check their hard drives.
If on a client with an Intel AX200 or 9260ac expect to get around 135-155 MB/s (1,080-1,240 Mbps). I also have a T5 connected to my RAX120 and also a NAS connected to the 5Gbps port. I find that the write speeds (135-155 MB/s are much faster than the reads (75-90 MB/s) which is opposite of the RAX80 where reads are (140-155 MB/s) and writes are (65-70 MB/s). Guess it might down to some SAMBA configuration issue in firmware regarding slower reads on the RAX120.
I wouldn’t expect anywhere near 400 MB/s even wired as I believe it’s peak is 200-250 MB/s for USB storage according to some reviews. You need to realize this is a router and not a high end NAS as it has an ARM Cortex A53 CPU cores and not a high power desktop Intel/AMD x86 or mobile CPU/Chipset.

To clarify I have a Samsung T5 1 TB SSD connected to the RAX120’s USB port which I used for tests above. My NAS oddly for some reason (connected via a n-base T 2.5/5/10 Gbps capable Netgear SX10 switch) can’t provide much more than a 114 MB/s even though it’s more than powerful enough (Netgear ReadyNAS 524X with an x86 CPU).
