Comment on Migrating a Synology NAS to a UniFi UNAS Pro 8 with Robocopy, SMB Multichannel

Comments

Sometimes when we Linux for a long time, we run into decades old friends: grep, sh, bc, whatever. Not uncommon to run a command that first released 50 years ago. Rarely on Windows do we get that. As much hate as windows gets, at least they left in more than just explorer drag and drop.

If the author is reading, it would be nice to clarify that the 10g network comment is irrelevant. I was under the impression at least 1 of the devices would have a 10g link, but at least 2 of the 3 didn't. It was a bit confusing, but it's also very late where I am.

My interpretation is that the setup is 10GbE UNAS Pro 8, 4x 1GbE Synology DS 1520, 1x 2.5GbE Windows host.

If that's the setup, the only way anything would run more than 1Gb is if the Synology is doing SMB-multichannel (which if they setup 4x1Gb LAG, then it's not SMB-MC). [edit] reading the article, they do have the Syno setup for SMB-MC and that's the only reason this wasn't stuck at ~120MB/s
