Windows 10 folder sharing is experiencing significant delays.
on a high-performance machine running Windows 10, which handles fast local writes and high copy speeds to a Synology NAS. When you try to access the array from another device on the same 10G network, speeds drop significantly. Your NAS works well locally but not under those conditions. What might be causing this issue?
Is there anyone familiar with setting up shared folders on Windows 10 that support 10G networking? You have an SSD raid array (drive M on a high-performance machine running Windows 10, which handles fast local writes and high copy speeds to a Synology NAS. When you try to access the array from another device on the same 10G network, speeds drop significantly. Your NAS works well locally but not under those conditions. What might be causing this issue?

07-27-2016, 01:53 PM #3The 4 drive RAID0 setup from Rocket 4 Plus drives or NAS isn't a key factor here. VIDSRV-001 and VIDSRV-002 both feature a Rocket 4 Plus 1TB SSD system drive. The two Threadripper Pro machines are very similar, except VIDSRV-001 includes a 5975WX processor with RAIDXPert and a four-drive RAID0 array of Rocket 4 Plus 4TB drives. VIDSRV-002 uses a 3955WX processor, RAID is off, and has no RAID0 array mentioned. I set up shared folders on each machine and used Teracopy for copying and testing. I tested a 5.9 GB video file. The drive is just a single unit. On VIDSRV-001, copying to the system drive took about 200MB/s using Type 1, and 500MB/s with Type 2. On VIDSRV-002, copying between the two systems gave 60MB/s for Type 1 and 500MB/s for Type 2. There was an Ethernet connection running at 5G speed instead of 10G, which likely caused the slower results. A short homemade cable from the patch panel to the switch improved speeds to 10G, allowing Type 1 copies to reach 300MBps. Switching to a new short factory CAT6 cable boosted Type 1 speeds to 500MBps. Cable quality seems to impact performance even when speeds claim 10G.
