2.5GBe USB LAN
I have an old Ultra2 2Gb RAM running 6.10.9 OS. NAS is working great but 1Gb LAN is a bottleneck. I've bought cheap 2.5GBe USB LAN adapter based on realtek chip, attached to USB3 port and installed ...
Doesn't help much using such a device on a NAS certainly never intended to be operate on these legacy NAS devices (all Netgear NAS are ...)
The limitation to about 80 Mb/s was always on the storage side (the HDDs, the Raid - overall the CPU, the memory.
Some percent more might be reached by using SMB 3.0 transport and jumbo frames - but that does not make any wonders possible.
I've already using smb3 and jumbo frames. 1x native lan reaches ~ 100-110MB/s, 2 x naive lan bonded ~140MB/s. Why with 2.5G it less ?
