I upgraded the setup but speed improvements remain limited. Upgrading hardware like a faster NAS or better Ethernet cable didn’t significantly change performance. You might need to tweak settings or use a different connection type, but results are often minimal.
100MBps is roughly equivalent to 1000Mbps, which is about 1Gbps when comparing bytes and bits. To achieve higher speeds, the best solution is to switch to 2.5/5/10G LAN connections.
The HDDs are some WD reds 10TB that aren’t great, but I can use a PCIe 1x NIC for both my NAS and my computer to match those speeds. Would switching to a new router be necessary since my current one only supports 1 gigabit? I’m trying to plan this out before heading to the micro center.
I wasn't aware of the distinction between MB/s and Mbps. I plan to move a file during lunch and verify it, though I'm confident the speed was around 100MB/s. I intend to upgrade with new drives to increase storage, possibly opting for the 7,200 RPM models since they're more affordable than my current 5,400 units.
If it was MB/s, well there's nothing you can do about it unless you're using a faster network interface or use USB3.
Sure, just search for "2.5g LAN card" online. You'll find options for getting at least two and a 2.5G switch is recommended.
