New FreeNAS Build (Slow Throughput & Low Transfer Speeds)

Go to solution Solved by NATYPE,

UPDATE 3!

 

Looks like everything is working great with the server now! I'm consistently reading and writing to the pool at over 100 MB/s! :)

 

Seems like all the issues were being caused by my router. I honestly still don't know why, but I do know it has nothing to do with my FreeNAS Box anymore. I'll continue looking into it since my current setup isn't ideal, though I'm very excited to finally have everything working!

 

Thank you all for your help today! :)

RAID 6, compared to RAID 5, has no performance differences. The only difference between the 2, is that you sacrifice a second drive for parity, instead of just 1. The 2nd drive gives you room for up to 2 drives to fail without data loss. RAID 6 still has the same penalty to writes that RAID 5 has.

 

 

 

There is a performance difference. The additional parity over Raid 5 slows performance and so will the extra write penalty. 

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?

That is what I've been reading, too. More complex parity, leading to lower write speed...

not a huge difference, or one worth worrying about.

I'm currently in the middle of an expansion. 60% of the controller is dedicated to the expansion operation, so my speeds are a bit gimped atm.  But just for the lolz, here's the speed tests while the operation is in progress. Obviously they *should* and are much higher. Still good enough to saturate gig-e.

write speed first, then read speed
