An interesting turn of events: I don't know what prompted me to try this, but I shutdown the system, unplugged all SATA cables and examined them. A few interesting finds ... The cables seemed fine. I had three, one for the SSD, another for the internal HDD and yet a third for the CD-RW drive...

Here's a dump of all the StorPort - Operational provider events within the last 24 hours. I have also attached a more complete report with all of the columns visible. Event Time Record ID Event ID Level Task Keywords Process ID Thread ID 3/29/2024 12:14:49.165 PM 1370 523 Error Port (201)...

I will have to answer these one-by-one so I can address them correctly. I have 1 SSD, 1 HDD (Internal) and 1 USB Attached HDD. What I am very confused about is the following. When I query DISKPART with "DETAIL DISK" on each drive, I get the same Path, Target and LUN ID. I'm not heavy into...

I'm having a rough time of it -- getting a fair amount of event 549 errors in the vent log related to storage errors. This is the first instance of the error seen during this time period on Storport Device (Port = 0, Path = 0, Target = 0, Lun = 0) whose Corresponding Class...

Well, the plot thickens. It's NOT the NAS, it's NOT the SOC in it. I think the culprit here is . . . * drum roll please * The software RAID configuration. Either the drives or the software layer trying to handle RAID is failing miserably. Take a look at this image of a transfer I am...

To be clear, the storage pool is on the Windows Server, the NAS is using a simple RAID 5 array with EXT4 as the file system -- I believe that is the standard configuration on those things.

I concur. I really don't think it's the WD either. Unfortunately, this means comparisons, which take time, and time costs money. I think I'm going to just let it ride for now until the job finishes so I can invoice. Afterwords, when the dust settles, I can compare all day long and figure out...

Even using "Storage Pools" on Windows Server 2012? That is what I'm currently using. It also seems as if there is some sort of difference between storage pools and straight-up "software RAID" available within Disk Management. I could be wrong, but it just seems that way. I'm wondering if there...

What troubleshooting steps would you take in this situation?

Seems like I run into the same issues over and over again, large data buses that promise the world, but when it comes down to it, just fail. Would increasing the NAS's RAM help us in this situation possibly?

Just curious, is it possible the cache on the WD Red drives on the TARGET server is filling up over and over. When I back off for a period of time and resume transfer, suddenly I'm back to 100+MB/s. I'm willing to fork over some green if someone can figure this out. This will dog me on the next...

I would love to do that, but I am afraid I will interrupt the copying process while I'm shutting down the service and create a whole new problem for myself. I was actually able to pause the process on the server-side, update the network drivers, then continue the process -- upon which I...

And herein lies the rub. That is exactly what is happening. It starts out fast for a couple of minutes, then chokes down to around 35 MB/s average. Therefore, we can rule out the capability of the link, the link is definitely able to sustain 115 MB/s without issue. BOTH the drives in the NAS...

I have seen the flow of these conversations before on other threads. I suppose we shall have to start checking off things. ALL files I am transferring (98% of them) are very large (3-10 GB) in size. You are (of course) correct about the smaller files choking down the flow of data. But, to make...

I am supremely frustrated this morning. I have a very large file transfer to complete for a client and (initially) everything was working smoothly at first. Setup 1. Server with Gigabit Network Adapter 2. Western Digital MyCloud PR4100 BOTH ends of the connection have a gigabit capable...
