hi, I am using a bridge-lan on the nas the eternal port of the bridge reaches up to 100mb/s but when I load the files on the server the speed is 355 b/s how can I speed the transfer?
More information is needed.
Please post your truenas version, and a complete list of your hardware.
So your speed when transferring the files from your machine to the server reaches 100 MB/s but then reading the files from server is very slow?
I have:
OS Version:TrueNAS-SCALE-24.04.1.1
Product:Inspiron 580
Model:Intel(R) Core™ i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz
Memory ram:6 GiB
3 hdd in RAIDZ1
and i use a bridge lan wifi cause my wifi router is in a location that is not very accessible. The problem is that when I try to put something on the server the speed is very slow is about 355b/s
can you run some iperf tests from your server to the other device in both directions?
I see many red flags that could be issues, bridged over wifi being the first vs wired, 2nd a 3 drive raidz1 and 6Gib of ram on an ancient i3 CPU.
The files you are copying, are they many smaller files or larger files (Gigs in size vs Kb/Mb in size?)

Sorry i’m new in this world and I don’t know how to do a iperf test but I tried connecting the server with an ethernet cable and now the speed has increased to from 3 to 8mb/s. I connected the 3 drivers in raidz1 because doing some research it seemed the most similar to a raid5 and I ad some ram now I have 9 Gib.
This is the file I was uploading to test the speed and it is a single package of about 1.5Gib.
Is your network card recognised by Truenas as 1000Mbit ? Because 8MB/s looks like 100MBit speed.
While transferring a file, what does the CPU/RAM usage look like ?
Also what exact types of HDs are you using ?
I connect the ethernet cable directly to the motherboard without using a network card. When I transfer files the CPU usage is very low I think around 10-20%. The HDs that I use are the pool: two 500GB HD + 1 200GB HD and 1 500 GB HD for the OS.
