It's impressive how performance remains stable across different speeds on a full 10/100/1000 network. Even at maximum duplex, you're seeing consistent downloads around 180Mbps while file transfers sit near 700kbps to 10Mbps. All recent components and connections appear functional—no issues detected with the new gear or CAT 6 cabling. The network analyzer confirmed everything is working as expected, and swapping the modem/switch didn’t cause any problems.
The image fluctuations you noticed likely stem from varying network loads or congestion during file transfers. Running at full speed doesn’t always match actual usage patterns, especially when bandwidth is shared across multiple devices.
Your hardware setup looks solid: the RYZEN Threadripper 1950X supports high-end performance, and the motherboard supports the required specs. The ASUS components are well-integrated, and the case is professionally finished.
The 220Mb file transfer from your PC to the NAS is normal for such a large amount of data. It’s not unusual for this kind of volume to cause minor spikes in throughput, especially if the network isn’t saturated. Double-checking cables and ensuring proper power delivery helps maintain stability.
You’re definitely on the right track—your build is robust, and the firmware is up-to-date. If you're still experiencing issues, consider monitoring bandwidth usage during transfers or testing with a lighter workload.
As for the Asus TPM-M module, it’s a solid choice and should not cause any problems. Your system is well-configured, and everything seems to be functioning as intended. Keep up the great work!
I continued, not realizing how much you could adjust network settings in Windows 10. In reality, many people were exploring those options, while Linux users seemed to have more advanced tools at their disposal.
Is the data in one big file or split into many smaller ones? Smaller files move slower when reading from or writing to a device, while larger sequential files work faster. A single 1GB file should transfer at around 100MB/s over the network. If it’s broken into thousands of small files totaling 1GB, it will take much longer. What storage type is used on the remote device—HDD or SSD? That affects speed a lot. Also, does the remote connection support 1Gbit speeds?
The registry serves as your essential location for most tuning parameters on W10 standard/pro. Certain encryption configurations may significantly delay data transfers.

What type of drive is D? Which NAS are you connected to? What filesystem is active? Are there other devices sharing the NAS? Speeds are shown in MB.
Check if the PC is connected to one running at 100Mbit or if SMB settings are incorrect. If it's a NAS/Router-NAS setup, the NAS might have a faulty SAMBA server or misconfiguration that can't be resolved easily. At least 180Mbit speeds are better than 100Mbit, so the PC is likely switching to gigabit speeds. Jumbo frames may be disabled on some devices, which usually reduces transfer rates. For router/NAS models, USB2.0 speeds are typically around 10MB/s—ensure you're using a USB3 port and that the drive transfers faster than 10MB/s when plugged directly into your PC. Also, avoid formatting the drive to NTFS if it's a Router/NAS; some units come with outdated slow NTFS support.
