This is a brand new build with 3 drives, one parity and I have set up everything as a pool and connected my other PCs to the network shared drive via Samba.
Am I missing something? The write speed from those other PCs is consistently under 10Mb/s...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
SnapRAID has no bearing on the read/write speeds of either the pool OR the drives underneath. Unless it's actively running a sync/fix/check/etc, that would be putting a heavy load on the drives and slow down any concurrent IO operations. I would look into issues of poor performance related to MHDDFS. Also try reading/writing the individual drives outside of the pool.

have you checked your network connection, as that sound like its running on 100Mb/s and not 1000Mb/s
ethtool eth0
Your looking for the speed line, just an idea as I've had this issue before and it turned out my switch was failing, i would get fill 1000Mb/s after a power cycle but after a while it would drop to 100Mb/s.

May have found the problem-- the write speed is normal when both my laptop and ubuntu server are connected via ethernet. The speed only drops off when writing over wireless.

Hmm, the speed says 1000Mb/s.
