I have FreeNas 10.2 on a HP Microserver, with 2 pcs of 1TB discs on embedded minisas in mirror mode (through FreeNas, not through the embedded RAID). Also I have a 120GB (consumer) SSD configered as a cache. It is probably not my best choice to put the SSD on a regular SATA connection, instead of on the minisas, but I wanted to keep the 2 remaining bays free for a second mirror or a Raid5 with 4 discs.
I am getting nice speeds getting files FROM the NAS to alocal SSD drive in my PC (steady at 112 MBit), but I am getting TERRIBLE speeds of fluctuating between 0.5 and 7 MBit) getting files from my local harddrive TO the NAS (same share, same local SSD). I would have guessed to get decent speeds, since SATA SSD to SATA SSD can pull the Gigabit connection completely full, and FreeNas would find a way to get everything to the mirror afterwards on it's own? I am uncertain about how to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions?
