Hows my performance for Intel C2750

[Simplicity]

Hi All,

Running the following specs:
Intel Avoton C2750
16GB ECC DDR3 RAM
4x 3TB WD Red in ZFS -Z2 (using onboard SATA ports)
1GB ethernet

It does the job as a file server and Plex home player for personal use. I am not impressed with Windows real-world file transfer speeds. Transferring many 10mb music files ranges between 20-40MB/s. And a large 60GB ISO transfers around 50MB-70MB/s .

A

Ive read as much as I could only but im trying to learn how to use the OS and the commands. Is this acceptable performance? It does the job, just want to make sure my money put in is working as expected. I used Z2 to help with redundancy in-case a drive fails with my family photos. (i have a 2nd backup elsewhere)

If you're getting 118 megabytes per second on a 1Gbps ethernet, then you're pretty much at max speed, sir.

Pretty good IMHO. :)

Which motherboard? Supermicro, ASRock?

When doing the iso transfer and 10mb file transfer I bet the slow thing is the client storage not your server. You proved this with your benchmark screenshot.

Its an ASRock mobo.

I have the same board with exact same drives and I'm able to get >100MB/s across the NIC. Only difference is I'm running RAIDZ and not RAIDZ2 which gives me an extra spindle of data. But with Gigabit, it shouldn't matter as the drives have much faster transfer rates. Like @SweetAndLow mentioned, if your client is not using SSD drives, that's probably the culprit. If your client IS running SSD drive, then I would try and put 2 drives on the Intel controllers and the other 2 on SE9230.

I'll copy large file from my C:/ that is on SSD to my CIFS share and see
