It’s better to investigate a bit up front and avoid having to try lots of combinations. The goal is to find the slow item. Measure the disk speed with GnomeDisks or a specific disk speed test. Then measure the network bandwidth between your client and your file server. Otherwise you are hoping and guessing and it’s very frustrating, I know.
I have just purchased this and done all that I can for problem solving.
I am running Desktop Raspberry Bullseye (latests at time of this writing), for learning purpose and simplicity, I just want simple SAMBA enabled sharing, no more RAID-5 for me which is what I committed doing. I have RAID-0 on the NGFFs installed in the 2.5" SATA enclosures.
In my Argon Eon installed NGFF SSDs in all combined total of 6GB at this time, all performing ok READ/WRITE test performance, which is based on gnome-disks through the USB3 bridge port, a speed ranging over 200-300MB/sec drive tests
my NIC on my Pi4 was stuck at 100mbps, that is resolved, now its 1Gbps but no significant in speed.
I have encountered Argon EON power supply is short of power delivery, causing ethernet to disconnect repeatedly, so I removed 2 older mechanical 2.5" HDD for the time being leaving only the NGFFs running + one NVME usb stick in the inner side of the USB3 port.
Anyone one has latest suggestion to resolve this slow network transfer speed today?
Resolved…
I don’t know if NTFS truly has performance disadvantages over native ExFAT partition, but do take that into consideration according forum helpers advises.
These modified parameters has resolved my issue!

Props to Deacwula and others. Updates for those following the bread crumbs behind me. What worked for me. I was seeing 15-20 MB/s. Now at 95MB/s. I want to squeeze more to get to 105 MB/s later, but this is good for me for now. My HW is Beelink SER5 using Open Media Vault 6.9.1-1 (Shaitan).
