First, I'm novice computer guy, and a network noob. Be gentle. Looking for some advice or to be pointed to a good thread or article to help me learn.
I installed OMV on an RPi 2. It's hooked directly via Cat 5e to my router with 3 drives hooked up to it via USB. One is an SSD and the other two are HDDs.
I got everything running, I have a laptop running windows and another RPi2 that has MATE installed on it that I have hooked up to the TV. It will be an emulator, basic computer for emailing/facebook, stream movies and stream music through USB Bluetooth to my home sound system.
I got the basics configured of the server, my Windows laptop recognizes the drives, I can access my files, etc. I have shared folders set up in OMV through the SMB protocol. My problem is file transfer speeds.
I'm getting about 1mb/sec. I guess I would expect that when transferring from my drives to my laptop via Wifi, but I have a .11c Wifi adapter, so I would have thought I could get faster speeds.
Also, what's really aggrevating is that I can only transfer between drives at 1mb/sec. So, transferring between a drive in USB1 of the Pi to another drive in USB2 of the Pi, not going through the laptop or anything, I have super slow speeds.
Don't forget, I'm a network noob, so this might be simple for you guys, but please help direct me to something that I can configure my server better.
Once I get everything configured, the heaviest usage from the NAS will be streaming 1080p movies from the server to another RPi2 to my TV.
