Speed up my 10G connection?
Speed up my 10G connection?
I acquired two Aquanta 10GbE NICs from Amazon recently for their high-speed capabilities. My NAS and desktop both run Windows 10 Pro, and I linked them together using a 15m CAT6 cable. When sending data from a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO to an enterprise NVMe SSD on my server, I achieved full 1.15GB/s transfer speed. However, moving between the NAS and desktop results in around 800MB/s or less, which is insufficient for local writes that exceed 1.2GB/s without issues. I’m wondering if adjusting certain settings could resolve this imbalance. It seems storage capacity isn’t the issue here. So far, I’ve set RSS to 8 and jumbo frames to 9014 (or similar). Could you confirm these values or suggest further tweaks?
Tell me about your raid configuration and the amount of RAM each machine has. I'm here to help clarify your setup!
From a NAS to your desktop, you won't see actual theoretical speeds. Windows is handling additional tasks on top of TCP, which adds its own delay and impacts performance.
I conducted some tests and for clarity I’ll use the following setup: Desktop - X99 + Intel DC P35201.2TB NAS - Z87 + Toshiba PX04 3.2TB. When moving a 15GB movie from Desktop to NAS, the speed is about 1.15GB/s. However, transferring in the opposite direction—from NAS to Desktop—results in speeds ranging from 800 to 900MB/s.
Based on what I understand, you haven’t shared details about your raid configuration. You mentioned it’s a choice between write and read performance, and noted that raid 0 boosts both equally.
