I finally got a 40GbE network connection between two Windows 10 8920 Dell Workstations where I have some Samsung 970 PRO SSD's. On initial tests I am able to transfer 500 GB's of data at 2120 MB/s using the standard Microsoft drag/drop interface. Since the SSD's spec's show 3500 MB/s read and 2700 MB/s write, the initial tests are a bit low since the overall transfer will be restricted by the write speed of 2700 MB/s.
I am using a Mellanox MCX4131A-BCAT ConnectX-4 Lx EN Network Interface Card 40GbE Single-Port QSFP28 PCIe3.0 x8 ROHS R6 NIC in each Dell 8920 Workstation. I have jumbo packets enabled.
Any recommendations on how to get the transfer speed from 2120 MB/s closer to the 2700 MB/s?
