USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you’re restricted to hardware unfortunately.

See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it’s only compatible with Exos.

Also are you running through USB?

What’s your HDD model?

Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536
SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535
min protocol = smb3
max protocol = smb3

What software are you using

I have a hot storage NAS that backups to a warm storage NAS.

I backup every week and scrub every month.

I have 2 x ZFS1 pools that contains 3 x 20TB disks each.

With ECC ram, scrubbing, and independent pools, it’ll take a house fire to kill my local storage.

I also have a constant backing to Backblaze and yearly encrypted backup that I ship to a friend across the world.

Running a lot of DoH and DoT within my devices and my network
