So I've had a FreeNAS box running for a few years now. It's a Supermicro A1SAI-2550 board, running 24GB of ECC. Boot drive is a 120GB Samsung 840 (spare laying around) and the disks are a mix of 3 2TB and 2 4TB in a RAIDZ2. It's been dead solid except when my boot USB stick died about a year ago, so I replaced that with the SSD.
I upgraded my network last week, after I built a new desktop. I'm now running a ConnectX2 in the box, running SFP+ twinax 1M to a Mikrotik CSS326. The desktop is running the same setup.
Given I was over GbE previously I never saw an issue with speeds, and only now can I see how fast it's ACTUALLY running. Right now via CIFS I'm seeing 155MB to the server and 250MB to the workstation, using 300GB folder of ripped DVDs as my test file. This stays ROCK SOLID, and doesn't vary no matter how many times I change it, so nothing weird there.
I'm actually just curious, is this a reasonable set of speeds, or should I be looking for more performance here?
