Trying to achieve 5GB/sec transfer speed - Rich - 11-06-2024
I have a qnap TX64 2 bay NAS with 2 2.5gb ports. I have a Tenda TEM2010F 8 port 2.5G switch with 2*2.5G SFP slots. My pc has one on board 2.5G port and an additional pcie 2.5G add in card. I have checked the Enable file services SMB box on the MS Networking screen and the Enable SMB multichannel. My pc and my NAS see both network cards/NAS ports.
I have two cables from pc to switch to NAS. I have one 8TB hard drive and 2*2TB ssds set up for caching and qtier, although I probably don't need them, but I had them on hand so I put them in.
When I transfer an 8GB file from pc to NAS I only get 75-110MB/s transfer speed.
Are there other settings that I need to change?
Are the SFP ports on the switch anything I could use?
I am fairly low on NAS knowledge. I use it fairly simply for backup from pc to NAS, but would like to use it to access photos to display on other devices around the home (big screen TV)
Thanks for any pointers.
