Hello,
currently making a novice networking centre in my home, using windows file sharing, I've managed to make 2 hard drives and some SSDs accessible to the hole network. this is only a 1gigabit network but yet the speeds fluctuate from reasonable (80MB/s) to unusable (1-5MB/s). there was minimal traffic when I conducted these tests, and to make sure there was no bottle neck with the hardware at each end, I was transferring from SSD (SATA) to SSD (NVME 3.0). (granted not exactly a RAID 0 NVME4.0 but should easily saturate a 1gig switch.)
I'm using;
*BT home hub 6 (upgrading to a NETGEAR D7000-200UKS Nighthawk AC1900 soon)
*NETGEAR GS305 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch
*MACHINE 1* B350 msi pro, R5 1600, 16GB ram 2400Mhz, various drives - 1gig ethernet port *ex gaming machine*
*MACHINE 2* B550 msi tomahawk, R7 3700, 16GB 3600Mhz, NVME4.0 and 3.0- using the 1gig ethernet port but also has 2.5gig *current gaming machine*
* both on latest windows 10 pro
only issue I could see is both devices are running off one switch that is then only got a single CAT5e connection to the router.
I want them both on windows rather than running Linux as I don't know f**k all about Linux.
if anyone's able to tell me what I'm doing wrong id be greatly appreciative thanks!
peak speeds were about 80MB/s
lows were about 10MB/s
