I am a photographer, I need to store lots of RAW photos in a safe place. So I setup a NAS with nas4free,it has an AMD apu E350, 4G ram, 4X2T HDD in ZFS 3+1,Giga NIC ,Giga switcher without management and a main PC with giga NIC.
NOW I copy files from PC to NAS or NAS to PC ,the speed is 50MB~80MB.
My question is if I add another Giga NIC in both machine .Each machine has 1+1giga bandwidth, Do I get double speed as 100-160MB?
Or what shoud I do to improve network speed ? pls dont tell me change 10Giga network...
Thanks

Re: Some questions about improve network speed
50-80 MB/s are quite ok for this E350 board and just 4GB RAM
you can go through this list for troubleshooting:

Re: Some questions about improve network speed
yes the limiting factor here will be your e350.
zfs needs a bit more horespower.
you can get around 100 mb/s with good hardware.
you can use lacp to bundle network interfaces, but this will only raise the speed with multiple clients and you will not see much of an improvement with only one client.
