Ok guys here i go i have a ReadyNAS NV+ with 4 2tb drives raid x 1000mbit
i have 2 laptops one running linux ubuntu on 1000mbit the other windows 7 100mbit and a Desktop running windows 8 1000mbit
now the problem i have is that my laptop is a test server with a usb hdd on it and i download do that ok it runs linux now the problem i have is when i want to transfer files or folders from my linux lappy ubuntu to my nas i get shit speeds around 2mb/s i have tried to ftp/sftp/samba mount/smbfs/sshfs from the linux laptop to NAS and they all get around 2mb/s only did the samba mount and smbfs did help a little bit. BUT in the windows 7 lappy i have mapped the network drive from NAS and Linux to the windows pc and when i copy through windows i will get the full 100mbit speed 10mb/s+, How is that so that i have to use another pc to transfer the files and it will be quicker then from linux itself also trying this option from the windows 8 1000mbit pc goes back to 2mb/s using the same setup as win 7 also from the windows 8 1000mbit pc i get good speeds from the linux 115mb/s not from the nas around 20mb/s
I am asking why is it faster to transfer the files from a windows pc via mapped network drive then doing it direct from Linux laptop to the Nas, it doesn't make sense yes it's all wired and gigabit router

Understood.
Though if you are transferring lots of small files you generally will see slow speeds, and faster speeds with a large file. It wasn't clear to me if you were transferring the same data in both cases, as it matters quite a bit.
SMB might well be slower for linux, but NFS and FTP should be the same. How does the linux platform compare with the windows one? Also, did you check the network stats, to see if there were retransmissions or other stuff going on with the ethernet? Are all systems using the right MTU, etc?
I am suspecting there might be other differences besides the obvious Linux/Windows one.
I am copying the same file for testing and it's a large file how can I check for retransmissions with the ethernet? also how can I check the mtu on Linux laptop and what to set it to on all systems
