Networked drive transfer speed is slow (10 MB/s)

[colaman2]

Good Afternoon,

 

I am attempting to transfer large files across my local network to my media server (Plex). It is a custom built machine (I7 4790k, 16GB ddr3, MSI Krait MOBO, 4TB mass storage networked drive etc...) from my current gaming rig (ryzen7 2700x, 16GB ddr4, asus ROG MOBO etc...). When I transfer files, The speed is only 10 MB/s. I have searched google to look for what is giving me this issue. Yes all my points of networking is at least 1Gbit over ethernet. that is what a lot of the responses on google said. I have run the IPerf 3 test from both ends giving me 10MB/s results. If I were to do an internet speed test Im nearly at 900Mb/s consistently. I could really use someones help, because I have a large amount of files to transfer consistently.

Thanks for the help, and if you need any more information from me, feel free to ask.

10 MB/s means you're running on 100 Mbps link.

Needs to be sure tho. How about the link speed on "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections"? Is it 1 Gbps already?

Heres from both machines. thanks for the fast reply!

did you transfer large files or small files?

Small files is slower.

Hmm, weird. Shoulda get that speed much higher than 10 MB/s. 

Ever trying connecting both devices directly? Just by one RJ-45 cable from the gaming device to the server. Looks tiring, but worth to try.

 

Or get a laptop (if you don't wanna move a PC from room to room), connect one of them directly (for testing purposes), see if the speed increases.

so after using a laptop and Iperf3 I think the issue is with the media server based on the pics (top: media server) (bottom: Gaming machine). now to find out why, since both machines are gigabit? (correction I directy connected my laptop to the media server and got similar results to the gaming machine) that means the issue is somewhere along the connection.

Your media server is using normal HDD, yes?

As far as I know, the speed of an HDD only maxing out of 100-ish MB/s. Can check it up here. And it seems your gaming maching already using SSDs so that's why it can reach that fast.

 

I forgot to mention if I ever did the same exactly test, and what I can get is 70-80 MB/s max, because of the HDD bottleneck itself can't reach higher than that.

 

Except if you're using RAID on your server, then it's different story.
