10GbE connection linking desktop to UNRAID server
Hello, I see you're working on setting up your UNRAID server with a Gigabyte board and an ASUS card. You're trying to connect Eth1 to the ASUS card so media transfers at 10Gbps. You've set IPs on separate subnets but noticed data drops to 1Gb when copying. It might help to double-check your network mappings and ensure the MTU is correctly configured for both devices. Let me know if you need further guidance!
The configuration works fine. Are you planning to transfer files between drives that offer 10 gigabit speeds, roughly one gigabyte each second? Consider using a RAM drive on both sides and checking its performance.
He must connect via 10.10.10.1, otherwise OP should use the 10Gb link unless OPs main network also covers 10.0.0.0/8-24—which seems unlikely. If their upstream is NAT'd onto that same range, OP would need to configure rules or adjust connection priority.
You might be able to reach the server through the 10Gb connection, though you're not hitting those maximum speeds.
Thanks so much for the replies guys. Just wanted to add this update so that if anyone stumbles on this post they can learn from it. It turns out I was getting 10Gbe from the way I was set up. I thought there was a problem because I was not exceeding 160-180MB/s. The reason I was not getting any more speed / throughput through the 10Gbe link was because of an HDD bottleneck. Basically, I was copying data FROM a 10TB WD Red drive to an SSD drive. So the Red drive was maxed out. When I did a test from SSD to SSD this is what I was able to achieve: So the lesson is ... think about the entire path and the limits of all the tech being used.
