@ sudos With all due respect, the idea is to have files transferred to Windows and an Android TV. I understand the suggestion to see what speeds an unencrypted transfer would be, however that defeats the purpose of using this as a NAS. There are postings of others using a GoFlex Net/Home with OpenWRT, Archlinux, and Debian getting sustained transfers of around 60MB/s using Samba and NFS. Qby Tedious_1 - Debian
After giving some thought to the issue, there are a few thigs to go over or ask. As per the Toshiba website, only their consumer and surveillance drives have SMR. This is an enterprise drive and there is no indication that I could find that this drive has SMR. However, just to be sure I ran hdparm and according to a web posting I found, all drives that use SMR have a feature called 'TRby Tedious_1 - Debian
@Bodhi I decided to start over and make several changes. The Goflex will not recognize any of the newer USB sticks that I have, so I was using a very old 4GB Kingston DataTraveler. That thumb drive has seen over 15 years of use so it seemed a bit slow. Installed a fresh rootfs on the first partition of the 6TB drive, making it a total of 6GB Formatted the second partition using XFS inby Tedious_1 - Debian
Hi Bodhi, Thanks for your help so far. I was searching for other information that could possibly shed light on the issue, and I stumbled across something that Doncharisma says on his own website: Quotedoncharisma My GoFlex NET has now been running a couple of weeks and seems stable enough with OpenMediaVault and my two 1TB RAID1 disks. Performance wise I’m happy enough, only bottleneckby Tedious_1 - Debian
Thanks Bodhi! I don't really like having an open share on my network with these movie and tv files. Once had someone connecting on wi-fi that deleted an entire tv series. But I can do this to test the speeds and see the results. I copied the smb.conf file to the GoFlex Net and edited the path of the shared folder. comment = shared media (eg. USB drives) path =by Tedious_1 - Debian
Hi Bodhi, Thanks for working with me on this. I'm definitely interested in getting rid of that desktop with CentOS installed and use the GoFlex Net with 2 drives. It would definitely use less power. Yes, I stream some TV shows from the drive on 1080p to a windows based computer, but the 4k movies go directly to the smart TVs with Kodi (android). I have not benchmarked the file transferby Tedious_1 - Debian
Actually I just edited the /etc/dphys-swapfile to specify the location of the swap file: # where we want the swapfile to be, this is the default CONF_SWAPFILE=/mnt/drives/6TB-A/swap ...and made sure that there is a folder there named 'swap'. Will reboot and run the performance tests again.by Tedious_1 - Debian
Hi Bodhi, Thanks for your quick response. I have been reading many of your posts over the past few weeks and see that you are definitely the #1 guru when it comes to these kirkwod devices! bodhi Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Is the CentOS box also using SAMBA when you get > 60-80MB/s? or using NFS to copy to/from the > GFNet?

A few months ago I stumbled on the doozan forum researching other things related to linux, and found the idea of using these kirkwood devices as a file server very intriguing. So I recently purchased a new-in-box GoFlex Net (because it has 2 SATA ports) and followed the instructions to set up the serial connection, install the newest uboot, and the 6.5.7 rootfs.
