Comment on Data HDD with SSD catch drive
rambos@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoIts the cheapest drive I could find (refurbished seagate from amazon), I thought thats the reason for being slow, but wasnt aware its that low. Im also getting 25-40 MB/s (200-320 Mbps) when copying files from this drive over network. Streaming works great so its not too slow at all. Is there better way of debugging this? What speeds can I expect from good drive or best drive?
Ill research more about BTRFS and ZFS, thx

can you copy files to it from another local disk?

Yeah, but need to figure out how to see transfer speed using ssh. Sorry noob here :)

If you use scp (cp over ssh) you should see the transfer speed.

I have managed to copy with rsync and getting 180 MB/s. I guess my initial assumption was wrong, HDD is obviously not bottleneck here, it can get close to ISP speed. Thank you for pointing this out, Ill do more testing these days. Im kinda shocked because I never knew HDD can be that fast. Gonna reread all the comments as well
