Four WD Red 1TB 5400RPM units in Raid 5 with a basic SMB file transfer of a .zip (947MB). To boost speed I’d need at least 5Gbit networking, but I’m also puzzled. My experience with the drives was about 50MB/s. Edit: Just in case anyone assumes it’s due to RAID 5, this is identical to my UnRaid box using two WD Red 3TB drives. The real limitation is the network here.
Verify you're not relying on 100m network connections. The 12.5mBit rate should match the 100M limit. Use shared folders instead of browsers for speed.
Previously mentioned points highlight that 15 GB should transfer faster over a gigabit connection with a NAS in RAID5, even if individual drives are slow. It seems your network setup is functional, so use an SMB share and confirm both NICs are set to the appropriate speed. If other factors aren't the problem, check the read speed of your hard drive next.
It's a standalone drive case, meaning it doesn't support RAID configurations.
If the drive is compatible, you can turn on write caching. Refer to the link below: https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowl...nager/disk. Also, verify that your Maximum SMB protocol is "SMB3" and the minimum is "SMB2 and Large MTU." These adjustments should likely improve performance.
