Hi All,
First post on here and I'm losing my mind.
I've built my own NAS server (ish) and although it runs fine im unhappy with the performance of the HDD speeds im getting and unsure what to do to get it sorted.
System details as follow
Supermicro X10SRi-F
Xeon x5 2620 v3
32GB
Supermincro AOC-S3108L-H8iR with Mini SAS HD - SATA breakout cables
6 x 4TB HGST Deskstar NAS
2 x 64GB SATA DOM HDD for OS
Windows 7 64bit
I originally had the drives setup in a RAID 10 with 4 drives and the other two in a RAID 1 my transfer speeds between drives was poor and even over the network, generally less than 90MB/s. I now have the drives setup in 3 seperate 2 drive RAID 0 Virtual Drives. As we speak i am moving 500GB of data between two of the Virtual Drives and im currently transferring at 81MB/s and dropping. Now, on my old desktop machine if i moved files between two hard drives running off of a desktop mobo i could easily get about 125MB/s so why i am getting such poor speeds from drives setup in a stripe array using an expensive RAID card on a high spec machine??
Also, my temps always show around 70c which cant be good, is this right? my case is well ventilated and the rest of my temps are around the mid 20c
Lastly i bought a cachevault kit BTR-TFM8G-LSICVM02 but do i really need it? will it boost performance or is just a safe guard for power failures
I would be so grateful for any help, im seriously losing my patience with my setup.
Thanks in advance
