Direct Transfer rate between local Harddisks only 10MB/s

  • Hello,


    in my NAS i have a miniPCIe 2 Sata Raid Controller:
    https://www.amazon.de/gp/produ…age_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    Specifiaction: 3GB/s
    According further the specification for miniPCIe is 5/2.5Gbps.
    Let me calculate with 2.5Gbps, this should mean a possible transfer rate via miniPICe of 312MB.


    My Mainboard:
    http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AM1H-ITX/
    runs with SATA-3, 6GB/s


    This are theretical transfer rates. Let´s assume of a practical transfer rate of 1/3 i should get round about 100MB/s.


    Now i copy directly on the NAS terminal with Midnight commander a full 2GB HDD to another. And what i see don´t make me happy.
    Only 10,23MB.


    Okay think there is another factor? The Harddisks. I use on the source side a 2GB Western Digital Red and on target side a 4GB Western Digital Red in Raid1.
    Now the Red HDDs from Western Digital only runs with 5400rpm. The transferrate should be 150MB/s.

    Okay also there lets assume from 1/3 ther should be round about 50MB/s.
    This is round about my expectation.


    What do you think about this?


    Running Debian Wheezy with current stabel OpenMediaVault 2.2.16 with Kernel 3.16.0, think this should be backport kernel.

  • ASM1061 is a pretty decent PCIE 2.0 to 2x SATA 6G/s bridge chip. In some builds I've seen this card bringing 2 HDDs to ~100MB/s.
    A lot of motherboards came with an ASM1061 on board so I would say OP you should expect a lot more than 50MB/s.


    You could have gotten a defective expansion card, I was told these cards were VERY poorly constructed. Also it could because there are problems with your device drivers.


    If you can't get it working by all means, try a full PCIE expansion card, if your build allows.


    Edit: A quick test of an ASM1061 built into one of my motherboards showed ~150MB/s write speed to a ST3000DM001 (dd/Ubuntu 16.04 LTS/Linux Kernel 4.4). So definitely you should expect higher speeds OP.
