Transfer starts at 1Gb/s then drops to ~250Mb/s (alien.top)
 

When transferring from my file server to a windows client via 1Gb ethernet, the initial transfer speed is 1Gb/s but then drops and hovers around ~250 Mb/s.

File server is an Ubuntu server with a single HDD and client is a windows laptop with an SSD, and both are capable 1 Gb.

I've tried disabling defenders network protection, but it has no effect. Is this just an issue where my ssd buffer is full so the drive drops to it's native speed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How many people actually use Ubuntu server? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum
[–] rilkman@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I use an Ubuntu server running on a 2013 office PC with an i5-3470. Mainly used as a media server, seed box, file server, and Minecraft server all running in docker containers.

Honestly had no particular reason for using Ubuntu other than it being the only Linux distro I've used before. Didn't even know about TrueNAS or Proxmox when I started.

These worth it? (alien.top)
 

I've recently converted an old 2013 office PC into an Ubuntu file and media server and used the only hard drive I had laying aound, which was a ~13 year old, 500GB 2.5" laptop hdd.

I live in Australia where drives are really expensive. Is it worth getting a sas card and buying these drives for $20 each? Seller says they're from 2013-2014, all drives tested and working with not SMART issues found.

Thanks
