Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
Hi!
I got a TS-873 with 6 Seagate Exos 14TB installed. I was planning to use them in a RAID5 configuration with a 10GbE card and was expecting speeds of at least 900MB/s for seq. reads.
However, over SMB I seem to only be able to reach maximums of 600MB/s seq. read and at most 500MB/s seq. write.
I already tested the 10GbE connection with iperf3, and it reports it being stable around 9.9Gbit/s. (Even with simultaneous bidirectional testing) (I also used 9000 Jumbo MTU)
Is there anything that comes up on your minds that could cause this? qnap reports a RAID5 of 8 SSDs was able to reach up to 2300MB/s (using a dual 10GbE connection). Since the HDDs I am using are well able to do sequential 230MB/s (rated for 260) I expected that a RAID5 of 6 HDDs should at least be able to reach speeds around 10Gbit/s.
I also, for testing, made a RAID0 out of the 6 drives but I am still getting the same speeds, which leads me to think that the bottleneck is defiantly not the drives.
I'm using QTS 4.3.6.1050

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
you could run the internal tests as well.
SSH to your NAS.
then type in the following commands, cut and paste the results into a post (use the BBcode quotes/code) to make them readable in a post.
is there any raid syncing or scrubbing going on?

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
I take it your using a new CAT6 or higher cable? if the PC directly connected to the 10GbE port or through a switch?

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
Make sure you have SMB 3.x enabled, which is not the default setting on the QNAP. Which 10GbE card did you put in your QNAP? Also would need more details about the client machine (HW, 10GbE card, OS, etc.)
Also check that your HDD FW is the same on all drives. I remember seeing a post in the forum recently related to slow performance and it was due to a FW mismatch between the drives.

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
Thank you for your great responses!
Looks the RAID (DataVol2) is able to do 1.02GB/s according to the first test command, and at least 977MB/s according to the second.
probably didn't clarify that enough, but at the moment I have the 6 drives in a RAID0 until I figure out what slows performance. (but when i tested the RAID5 the syncing was completed)
How do I check the HDD FW in the NAS, I couldn't find anything on that yet. (Or do I need to pull the drives and stick them into a computer for that?)
10GbE card is the QXG-10G1T.
The client machine is a MacBook Pro (2016) with macOS with a Thunderbolt OWC 10GbE adapter.
very great that one can run internal tests, here are the results:Toxic17 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 1:45 am you could run the internal tests as well.

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
SMB3 was enable (Highest was set to SMB3), and I also tested again after setting lowest to SMB3 too, but I still only get 450 write and 560 read.
Still don't know where to check HDD firmware though.
And I don't think it's the network connection itself, since an iperf3 test between the macbook and the nas says this:

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
What surprises me is that none of the respondents said anything about using RAID5 with that many drives and drives of that size. You should be using RAID6, otherwise, IMHO, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
He had stated previously he had tried raid-5/6 and was using raid-0 to test parity overhead impact on his low perf #'s. Didn't sound like was going to be a permanent configuration.

Which OSX version are you running? I do recall a couple people saying they ended up resolving their slow perf issues by basically wiping their laptops and re-installing OSX on their laptops from scratch.

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
Thank you once again for your endless supply of nice and informative replies, I really didn't expect to get so much help
Also the second doesn't seem to be an option in either the qnap adapter settings or the macOS ones.
I am running macOS 10.14.6. I'm going to see if I can test with another mac (and also Windows, although I'd like to have full speeds with macOS too) tomorrow.
On the client: OWC Thunderbolt 3 10GbE Adapter
And since iperf3 is reporting (almost) full duplex 10Gbit/s, I really think this is a problem with either the NAS or the macOS SMB client and not the actual 10GbE connection.
I've done the first recommendation from that article, but am unsure how to apply the third one on a qnap NAS (if even necessarry/possible)Trexx wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 5:05 amHere are a few more things to try. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to ... rom-mac-osrobske_110 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 3:23 am Unfortunately turning packet signing off didn't have any impact.
Firmware matches (all have FN02)
Which OSX version are you running? I do recall a couple people saying they ended up resolving their slow perf issues by basically wiping their laptops and re-installing OSX on their laptops from scratch.

I'm sure Bob Zelin will have a fix

Re: Performance issues using 6-drive RAID on a TS-873
it sounds like you have a Win 10 PC with a thunderbolt 3 port, and you are using the OWC T3 to 10G adaptor. I have no idea about your PC. If I am wrong, and you are using a Mac (you just said about the macOS SMB client) -
make sure to have SMB signing disabled in terminal, and reboot your machine. And enable Jumbo Frames in both System Preferences for your 10G port, and on the QNAP 10G port.
Why are you only using 6 drives in a TVS-873 - put eight drives in there. If you follow my instructions, you will get 800 MB/sec (and probably not more than 500 MB/sec write).
And stop staring at the specs on the QNAP website (2300 MB/sec) - I have no idea of what they are referring to. With a 10G connection, even theoretical bandwidth can never exceed 1250 MB/sec, and in real life, I have never
seen over 1100 MB/sec on ANY 10G client - no matter what. 2300 MB/sec probably means total aggregate bandwidth - and there is no way that a TVS-873 is going to perform like this. There is real world, and there is fantasy.

Not that I saw. Only saw a RAID5 comment in the first post.
