- While I don't have deep enough pockets for an entire home network upgrade, I can improve a certain painful bottleneck...

Just found your channel by accident. Happy I did, also nice desktop background.
Glad to hear people appreciate my taste in art!
Using a greendboard and a chalk for explaining? You’re a LEGEND!!!
I guess only notes here, if your computer and nas are on the same subnet (which it appeared)... your router is completely out of the picture, and it was just whatever connection from your computer to the switch and to the nas (since it sounded like they were on the same switch). Only time your router gets involved is if you are going from one network/subnet to another network/subnet (unless you have a layer 3 capable switch and it is appropriately managed, which is highly unlikely in this case). And that network/subnet to network/subnet routing only takes place if your router rules allow it to occur. So your ~300 microsecond (not nanosecond) ping was mostly your switch's packet switching capability, which is pretty average for 1G, and I wouldn't expect that much better with 10G; really any local area network should have sub 1 ms ping. Things that will eat that effective bandwidth will include, however, any other broadcast packets on the network (which sounds like since you've subnetted off a lot of stuff, isn't going to be near as much as most people will have), and anything else your doing with the network. Obviously with 1 to 1 connection, there will be far far less broadcast packets, so don't have that, and very few other network packets will interrupt the horrible thin g that is SMB shares (windows file system never was meant to do such high speed networking). All in all your limitation is disks... two hard drives in mirror you will do good to get 150 MB/s. Need nearly 12 (or 6 if you dont care about data security) hard disks to even think about saturating 10G. 3-4 SSDs possibly. But at that point, there are far better strategies to ensure fast editing and data security... even if we all want Linus's over the top setups.
This is a great response! I appreciate the information, definitely learned a lot
Could you name those strategies do i can look in to them? Thanks
Funny, silly boy. But, I like your presentations. The little bit of humor makes a dull subject so much more enjoyable. Don't ever change. That was the advice given me when I was in junior high school, because I was a bit quirky, too. My cousin's thought I was "stiff," but I had them fooled.
So, love that phrase you said:
😅
For all in tents and porpoises. . .
Never mind, I connected my fiber (om3/LC) to my main computer’s NIC and it works. By the way, you can configure your NIC on the TrueNAS web UI by setting the info AND, run the Test connection so it engages. Transfer rate was 253MB/s, thought it would be faster. I will tweak it later
Good project, good video! Would suggest adding more onscreen texts for technical terms.
Great feedback!
Man, missed my comment regarding seaching ebay for IBM 12 BAY NAS, which will give you a sweet deal on one of those, mine even came with a QSFP card on top of the quad gigabit add on which was also AWESOME (for when I have a switch that can actually use that one hehe) The price was crazy specially with the HDDs included. Upgraded from 4core xeon to 2 6cores and from 24Gb to 24Gb + 12Gb (you know 2 numa nodes, my second numa node is mostly for a VM in any case)
Bro, I was having the same idea as yours about the NAS connected to the gaming PC, if it struggles to transfer some files imagine loading textures of a high competitive game… thank you so much for helping me and share your experience 🎉
Not sure if you have seen but Dell makes Cable Management Arms (CMA). They connect to the rails of PowerEdge servers and make it so that you don't need to unplug any cables to pull a server. Fairly inexpensive and a huge time save. I have had PowerEdges for years and only recently found out that CMAs exist. Hope this helps
For sure! For me, it's a cost thing. Also the poweredge servers are a little too loud while I'm still living in a studio, so I don't use them much anyways!
Good job, Thomas! 🙂
NO, the switch will only do that IF the devices are on separate subnets/vlans. Otherwise its routing tables should skip that hop altogether. Check how switches work, in particular managed switches, L2 or L3 will do for this, in fact L2 is more than enough until cross VLAN routing becomes a thing.
I was gonna say this exact thing, like bro whats wrong with your switch?? It shouldn't be passing traffic to your router and back.
Your videos are good enough man, I don't know why you don't have more subs...I'm definitely learning....
Give it time, the TH-cam algorithm gods will bless me soon enough
Good Job Thomas!!! love the videos.
I find it funny how similar our setups are
I wanna start merging computers how would you go about that
Love the visuals ❤️
Gracias
I am looking for way to connect computer processing power to each other. Is there any way to connect home computer to connect there processing power to other computer's processing power and share their processing?
thanks for video, I learned some disappointing from you 😄.
Well adhoc does improve your latency, though the difference between that and a decent switch should not be noticeable unless you have a lot of traffic on that switch and cross vlans (well that last one just adds to the latency increasing stuff)
Still, I stay by the statement that your switch should not be routing the traffic between your PC and your NAS to the router.
MTU wise, its size in todays world should have a minimal impact on performance on most scenarios. Basically it was definitely crucial when your CPU cycles would get taxed by the number of packets in flight, which increasing the MTU will reduce by increasing the packet size.
Now, thing is, this CPU tax won't vanish and if you do this on your WAN link the tax is moved to your router that will now need to break those down into the same size as your WAN interface. So, this may prove a bad idea in some cases (though in my case it would be ok, I have what I call an overkill router hehe)
👏👏
What is result hrping whit 10g
It’s roughly a 10% improvement in latency, and about double in throughput (jumbo packets enabled). The memory bottleneck really rears its ugly head unfortunately, and will be addressed when I can update my NAS hardware!
Huih, your switch should not be sending your traffic back to your router, not if properly setup and your setup is not relying on the router firewall for things the switch should be doing, like VLAN routing.
1000MBS = 1GBS You Are Limited By The Speed of Your Hard drives! You Have To go To SSD's Or Even Better NVMe SSD's Or A Striped Raid Array To Increase That! I Know There Is A way To Have Your NVMe Drives Act As A cache So You Can Transfer Files Much Faster Even Over Cat5! Not A Real Network Man But I Have Picked up On A Few Things From Copying The 14TB Hard Drives i Have My Media On!! On Just A Mechanical Hard Drives Copying One To Another Over SATA it is About 100mbs! Which Over USB Gets Cut Way Down! That Is The Reason Most PC's Still Come With Just A 1GBS Network Card Even Today!
I'm a bit surprised that you're not using Linux as your main driver. I wonder what software products you are using for Windows that may not have a viable alternative for Linux.
