Low HDD perf
#1
Question 
Hello everyone,

I experience poor USB3 performance with my rock64 (apparently it happens to other too...)

My setup :
  • stretch-openmediavault-rock64-0.6.44-239-armhf
  • Seagate 3TB USB3 HDD in NTFS (good perf, at least 100MB/s r/w over windows)
The drive have been mounted through omv, and is accessible in samba and ftp.

In any case i get poor speeds (from 10MB/s to 15MB/s)
LAN with my computer is ok (900 to 1000MB/s)

I don't  know what's wrong, any help would be great  Smile

First things first: are you sure it's plugged into the USB3 port (blue one by itself)? The other two are just USB2.

Also, could you run this and give us the output?:

Code:
dmesg | grep usb

Hi,

The drives UAS support is blacklisted (i.e. it's known to have issues) and then the usb-storage class driver as a known quirk listed as well. That is why the kernel is downgrading the drives throughput. As it's a drive aimed at the desktop market I suspect Seagate/Microsoft have resolved any compatibility issues under windows.

Code:
[    3.571243] usb 5-1: UAS is blacklisted for this device, using usb-storage instead

I use the word drive to mean the products SATAIII to USB3 controller. I stripped the HDD out of the original desktop enclosure I had with the same issues and put it in a USB3 External drive enclosure that is know to work with Linux and the Rock64. Be warned this would invalidate your warranty on the Seagate Expansion Desk.

Hi, thanks for the answer ! 

So if I understand well, I can't do anything except extracting the HDD and putting it in a new enclosure ?
Nothing suprises me anymore about this Seagate drive... I had trouble to format this drive in the past because it seems like it is 2 disks (1TB+2TB) being united into 1 disk, certainly with a built-in software.

I'll try later with a drive from a friend (samsung M3 1TB) and see if it changes something...

You might want to consider formating the drive partition to ext4 format first. You are paying a performance penalty using NTFS on a Linux environment.

Yes I know about that, I tried in the past, but I almost bricked the drive during formating due to its conception... And I need both Linux and Windows system... 

Due to what have been sais in other threads, it seems that ntfs drives with rock64 can reach pretty good perf. I'll try with another drive to see what happend

For your reference :
I upload files from Windows PC (filezilla) to Rock64 ftp server, WD 2.5" harddisk (ext4 or btrfs format) in an USB3.0 enclosure, uas enabled, speed is around 50MB-60MB/sec.

So from the Samsung M3 Portable 1TB:
Through Samba :
  • R : 70MB/s
  • W: 20MB/s
Through FTP :
  • R : 30MB/s
  • W : 12MB/s
The two drive are behind a 3.0 hub (this one : https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Portable-M...B00OQ0CYFE) with an external power supply.

I redid tests with the seagate and it's quite the same speeds (but poorer on ftp, 10MB/s Write)

It seems some other people reach good speeds through samba : https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=4960

The read speed through Samba seems to be about right for the M3 Portable, from what I've read online. The other figures are pretty bad, though. To simply things, can you test again without the hub, with just the M3 plugged in?
