Found it !!! ????

We disabled interrupt moderation rate on the NIC’s configuration page. Got the 10Gbps bandwidth.

Actually I’m connected directly. No switch.
The weird thing is that when I tested the direct throughput with iperf3 I only got 3.5 to 4Gbps !!!
Using the same everything, I booted the Windows box with Ubuntu, and repeated the test and got the whole 10Gbps !!!
Now I obviously suffer from a problem on the Windows box, although it was all configured by Dell. Thought it might be a driver issue. I tried updating driver and BIOS but that changed nothing. For some reason, Windows10 is unable to use the whole line bandwidth.

Will adjust for AIO after passing the Physical layer test. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is this different from performing a solaris /FreeBSD ZFS system?
I think my problem is more about the sharing protocol rather than the filesystem.

I figured out today that tiger technology sells the new product Tiger store, but really still wanted to know what you think is the best DIY route.

I have been looking at ZFS and Microsoft’s new storage space options plus the conventional hardware raid ones, but the sharing communication protocol remained unclear to me.

My understanding is that iscsi targets wouldn’t be a working solution for a shared storage. And there are several iscsi initiators/targets from microsoft, linux ….etc
I think Fcoe can be of benefit although I’m not sure how.

How does the three NAS protocols compare in terms of performance? Although I still think that block level access is a much faster choice.
