I am having some very sporadic write speeds to the drivepool, it will peak at 16MB/s, go as low as 0MB/s, completely stopping, and finally bouncing between 400KB/s to 1.5MB/s, However, when I write a file from the drivepool to any computer on my network the transfer is fine, between 60MB/s to 90MB/s. Write speeds to a folder on a non-pool disk is also between between 60MB/s to 90MB/s.
I am running StableBit.DrivePool_1.3.3.7563_Release.and the pool is showing 100%. My drivepool is on a frankenbuild WHS 2011. All of my clients are running Windows 8. Pinging from my clients to my server is <1ms.
I also tried using Robocopy or Teracopy but neither didn't help. I also performed the following optimization tasks obtained from wegotserved.com:
For the NIC: Flow control: on (client and server) "checksum" or "Offload": Off (client and server) jumbo frames: off or default (client or server) run "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted" in an elevated console (command prompt) on *all* computers (Vista/Win7/Server 2008(R2)/WHS2011/SBS2011e)
Services/programs: Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service: Disabled/manual Windows Search Service: Disabled (and probably a good idea to move it to another drive anyhow, or at least d:\) Install the "Remote Differential Compression" feature on the server, or uninstall it from all Win7/WHS2011 computers
Misc: Run chkdsk on all the disks. Full is best, but just to make sure Defrag.

Defrag.
Is there anything that I can do to remedy this?
