id do testing with iperf as smb with disks just adds variables. Id give linux live disks a shot to find out if hardware or software issue as its a seprate driver stack. This is just point to point, right? no switch. I have used about 4 different 10g nics on various systems, and always get >9gbit so idk whats wrong here.
From what i've seen Crystal Disk Mark and Iperf give me pretty much the exact same results because i'm testing with the NVMe drive that can easily do 10G. Those results are all with the switch in between! i know that p2p SFP+ worked but p2p RJ45 didn't really (same results as with switch). i'll try Linux tomorrow, maybe i just need a windows reinstall or something. I think it's very weird though, that Win7 with slower CPU, RAM, and SSD are faster than Win 10 with all better components. EDIT: Jesus f-ing christ. I didn't change a single thing on the Win7 machine or literally anywhere and now only get 470/760 there. Still faster than Win 10 but WHYYYYY? That system's taskmanager now also shows a flat curve on the network utilization....
Results vary greatly and often disappoint. What I've faced switching between W10 and FreeNAS has been frustrating. I couldn't pinpoint the problem, but I'm not alone. I stopped using FreeNAS for storage, though I can test it on an older server with a SFP+ card connected to a 10G switch and a Broadcom switch. iperf can help compare performance. What FreeNAS version are you running? (11.2 U5?) I'm used to the older interface, so I'm unsure how challenging it will be.
I just ran a small test on Ubuntu and saw about 350mb/s both ways. It’s hard to tell what’s going on anymore. Either I win 10 and both versions struggle with 10g, or my hardware is failing. I’m using 11.2U5, but you can still use the old navigation if you have time.
