I’ve been silently moaning about the transfer speeds to my storage devices.
Only today did I think to plug the network cable directly into the mesh satellite and not into a switch and over Powerline. 10x speed boost.
I’m an idiot and I’m posting here so I don’t get too cocky next time.
Feel free to laugh.
(“Advice” flair just on the tiny chance that someone else could be helped. )
I transfered about 4TB of data and was annoyed my transferspeeds were not as advertised. I get 10Gbit can be hard to reach depending on system, and this was only mechanical drives, so I had some understanding…but still.
Then I noticed the connection I used was the wrong network, so I used my onboard ethernet instead of my NIC…and my switch was limited to 100mbps bandwidth…
After changing the IP of the network drive it was a big difference
lol this is the data hoarding equivalent of plugging your monitor into your motherboard instead of your GPU
I started doing that when I bought my first PC, and now I have a career in IT. Hope it’s a pattern and not a fluke!
My raid 5 hdds bench at 1GB/s but 1.25GB/s sustained wouldnt be easy. Still even 5x more speeds than gigabit is good but not when the orange pi 5 boasts 2x 2.5Gb/s NICs suddenly your hardware feels old. I have a sfp+ switch and a gigabit switch with sfp+ but none of the newer stuff. Sfp+ is cheaper than 10Gb ethernet as the switches cost a lot if you need 24 ports.
