ReadyNAS Ultra4 - what can I do with it?

StephenB: yes, this is an Ultra4 running the latest Debian12+OpenMediaVault. Here are some stats from the system.  the OS is installed to a usb stick (64gb), 4GB of memory as well.

internal network transfers are just as slow.

not sure if my previous post was deleted. but let me try again.

System: ReadyNAS Ultra4 , 4GB memory, 64gb USB install drive seeing slow network speeds. running debian12 and OpenMediaVault.  these speeds seem the same as when running ReadyOS

Can you measure internal network speeds with iperf3?

What speedtest result do you get on a PC?

ok. I am using two systems in this scenario for the iperf3 -  readynas01 (the readynas) and plexk8s01 (vm)

This looks like normal gigabit performance to me (~940 mbits/sec).

So I don't understand what problem you are trying to solve.  Is the issue really about file transfer speed?
