I have a remote computer running Ubuntu 17.10 with Samba version 4.6.7 running. 8 gigs of ram. It sits basically idle and has next to nothing running on it.



I have two external USB hard drives connected via USB 3.0. Both are mounted automatically in fstab. Both are then shared via Samba. My old drive called "usb" works great with normal transfer rates. My newer drive called "media" has performance issues. When I try to transfer files to it, it hangs and causes network errors. It is also slow to browse in Nautilus or Windows Explorer. Both are configured the same. I however stream media from it without issues.



I have swapped USB socket locations as well as swapped the USB cables themselves. I have tried different Samba configurations and tried different sized files. I am at a loss for what to try next. I have searched google, stack and here and need some help. I have pasted what I feel are the relvant commands. Please let me know if you need anything else.



For reference: Western Digital Technologies(/home/dylan/usb) is the old drive and Seagate(/home/dylan/media) is the new drive that isn't working perfectly.

      I have a remote computer running Ubuntu 17.10 with Samba version 4.6.7 running. 8 gigs of ram. It sits basically idle and has next to nothing running on it.



      I have two external USB hard drives connected via USB 3.0. Both are mounted automatically in fstab. Both are then shared via Samba. My old drive called "usb" works great with normal transfer rates. My newer drive called "media" has performance issues. When I try to transfer files to it, it hangs and causes network errors. It is also slow to browse in Nautilus or Windows Explorer. Both are configured the same. I however stream media from it without issues.



      I have swapped USB socket locations as well as swapped the USB cables themselves. I have tried different Samba configurations and tried different sized files. I am at a loss for what to try next. I have searched google, stack and here and need some help. I have pasted what I feel are the relvant commands. Please let me know if you need anything else.



      For reference: Western Digital Technologies(/home/dylan/usb) is the old drive and Seagate(/home/dylan/media) is the new drive that isn't working perfectly.
