Hello. I’m new here and have just bought a Drobo 5N to replace my FreeNAS computer for streaming Plex media. Plex works fine but my normal read and write spead to the networked Drobo is about 1.6 MB/sec on my Linux machine which is of course unusable slow. I tested on my laptop that duel boots Windows and the Windows side seems to be fine (not sure the speed but I ran the same small video and it ran fine on Windows).
I have no idea how Drobo is connecting to the network. I’m guessing samba. Is Linux’s samba that slow or am I doing something very wrong? I initially set up the Drobo under Windows with the gui they provide. I’ll boot back in there and take a look but I’m hoping someone here has had this issue and can give me some direction.
Thanks!
