internal transfer speed

Post by Pallomino »

hej folks,
i have a AS6510T with following hardware setup:
10x WD Red 6TB Raid 10
2x Samsung SSD EVO 970 Plus Raid 0
10Gbe all the way to PC via switch

my write speed from PC to NAS is in average 450MB/s to the Raid 10 HDDs and from NAS to PC 750MB/s
the same goes for the transfer from and to the SSDs in Raid 0
question : shouldn't the write speed to the SSDs be faster in Raid 0?

and now my main concern!
the internal transfer speed between my volume 1 Raid 10 HDDs and and the volume 2 Raid 0 SSDs is always around 300MB/s no matter the direction or filesize
question : why the limited speed?
thanks in advance for responses :-)

How was the transfer done?
AS5304T - 16GB DDR4 - ADM-OS modded on 2GB RAM
Internal:
- 4x10TB Toshiba RAID10 Ext4-Journal=Off
External 5 Bay USB3:
- 4x2TB Seagate modded RAID0 Btrfs-Compression
- 480GB Intel SSD for modded dm-cache (initramfs auto update patch) and Apps

That's normal and expected, which is to copy & paste from one samba share to another even within the same volume. What you're doing is actually downloading from the NAS from share#1 then transfer back to the NAS to share#2.

Use the ADM File Explorer in the portal to achieve better speeds for internal transfers.

Really? Then my assumption is wrong about ADM File Explorer, probably it does the same as mapped shares and I only use it occasionally. Most of the time I use command lines to do huge transfers. You can test the transfer speed in the terminal using dd or rsync i.e. `rsync -ah --progress /volume1/Download/10GB-source.txt /volume2/test-destination/`. If it still doing the same speed, then it's a good time to benchmark your arrays see where the fault is like using dd or hdparm.
