10gbit hdd setup

[jonneymendoza]

HI.

what hdd do i need to achieve 10gbit transfer rate between two computers that have a 10gbit network card attacked to my switch that has 2 10gbit connectors on it?

I currently have my main desktop that has the following:

• 1 nvme 512gb OS drive
• 4x sata 3 ssd 2.5 drives
• 3x 3.5 mechanical hdd (WD-RED)

My server pc has the following:

• 6x 3.5 mechanical hdd(WD-RED)
• 1x 2.5 SSD sata 3 OS drive(ubuntu server)

When i copy files between any of my files in my main pc i only get max 1.5gbit speeds if that.

nowhere near 10gbit and i assume this is because of my server pc usng WD-RED hdd's?

Does my server AND desktop need to transfer between nvme storages?

First thing I would do is test transfer speeds with no disks involved to see what's what with that first (you can get tools that move files to / from memory)

Something like iperf maybe?

OK i will try that
