SAMBA poor performance, copying and reading at 60MB/s

seba333 · 6. Oktober 2023

Hi there,

I have shared a folder, created a user, enabled SMB.

File transfer is 60MB at a 1Gbps local LAN connection. Both PCs (OMV and Ubuntu Desktop) have 1Gbps network interface and SSD disk.

Is this normal? Is there any tweak possible for SAMBA to increase performance?

There can be many different causes for this. The most obvious are usually related to hardware. Some poor connection, some bad cable, a switch that doesn't work as expected...

I discard it is a problem with hardware, cables or switch.

With the same two devices I run IPERF3 tests and I get 940 Mbps in both directions of the communication.

Anyone with the same issues? Any ideas? Suggestions?

What model and format (2.5"/3.5") of drives are you using? These are connected via SATA or USB?

It has to be something related to SAMBA.

I have also tested FTP file transfer with 109 MB/s results.
