34% cpu during windows transfer

Cat 6a No encryption

@SrSuri The NAS is still RAID 6 iPerf says the bandwidth available is 2.11Gbits/sec between a workstation and the NAS. A windows transfer between workstation and NAS runs at ~50Mb/s

Tried with the workstations to workstation test again, noticed I had a bad cable attached. Iperf now shows 2.52Gbits/sec between workstations.

I got iperf installed on the Synology Rackstation SSH extracted and ran. Transfer speeds between workstation and Synology: 2.11Gbits/sec

HNY all. I ran an iperf test between two workstations. I get average speeds of 933Mbits/sec

@Helly Speeds between the PC's is also very slow. I'm getting the same speed no matter where I send the files. I've tried getting into my switch to set the MTU as @FloRolf suggested, but I've had no luck. Limited time this week, and the box is refusing to connect / can't see it from Netgear Prosafe utility. I reset it to factory defaults, but no change.

@Pixel5 I tried several large .exe and .zip files in excess of 2GB

Everything is running through one of these - NETGEAR 16-Port 10G Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch (XS716T) Set MTU to 9000 on both ends, no noticeable difference.

Read and Write average 25-45MB/s, tested multiple file types. On the test machines internal drives, moving the same files shows 1.5GB/s+. Not something I have tried or know about yet. Synology shows 10000MB/s Full duplex, MTU 1500 under the network tab. Cables are all Cat6a and bought for this upgrade, none of them run farther than 5 metres.

Hi all. I currently have two synology NAS units, both with 8x 8TB Seagate ST8000NE0004 Ironwolf Pro drives running RAID6. One on-site, and the other off-site running hyperbackup. I bought and installed 10gb cards in my workstations, and also the 10gb network card for my on-site NAS, everything's wired up and transfer speeds between machines are good. However, transfer speeds between workstations and the on-site NAS remain slow, somewhere in the 30-50MB/s range. This is probably down to my RAID setup and drive speed, so I have a few questions. 1: For a nas of this size, what's the optimal drive type to buy to increase performance. 2: If I swap out all the drives on-site with better ones, do I need to do the same with my off-site or will that backup run fine with different drives? 3: If I change my RAID config on-site, say to RAID-0 can I restore data from a RAID-6 off-site. Apologies for the noob queries.
