Thought you could get rid of me :)

When I do a test DL and direct unpack is on the SSD uses ~200MB/s in write. Which pretty much is the max.

When I turn off direct unpack it ranges between 30MB/s and 100 but still only provides the same download speeds we've been discussing above. So I think there may be some bottleneck with hdd speeds but if that was the case when I turn off direct unpack they should speed up.

Any thoughts?

Any way we can edit the port on a package installer?

Ie... I'm already using 8080 and would like to change Sab to something different on the syno package. I know how to do it on docker but am unsure if I can on the install. Thanks

No, on Synology the port is fixed by the installer because it's a requirement of DSM. It will reserve a specific port per package and monitor it etc. Nothing we can do about it.

when I changed to the SSD I think it said the same thing. I'll QC right now but that would put both over 150MB/s

Hey,

if it has not been mentioned; the number of connections you use in the server settings can greatly enhance the speeds. I have a 10Gb connection so in theory i have 10000MBit. By going up to 60 connections, i got my DL speed to near 500Mb/s which is probably the highest i am gonna get. Good luck!

It helps that i have extremely fast SSD´s, the newest m.2 ones that can r/w around 2500-3000Mb/s, but even normal mechanic disks (if 7200 RPM) are able to write at somewhere 200-220 Mb/s if i recall right. A "normal" 2,5" ssd SATA connected, can write in 500-550 Mb/s.

After a download, go to Wrench -Status, and see if there is a line "Download speed limited by"
