Raspberry pi samba speeds Patch#

So where have I gone wrong and how can I diag and fix it. TCP/IP tuning on modern Linux kernels (2.6+) is automatically implementedįTP and samba seem like giving in to a less secure protocol rather than making the proper better one work correctly. Hp-ssh seems very interesting but a bit above my skill level requiring recompiling ssh. Connecting both rpi and pc directly to the router improved my samba speeds from 10-12mb/s to 60Mb/s (on heavy cpu load) - 90Mb/s (on idle). It just seems I should be able to get at least 4 MBS and that would be fine.

I'm my searching I've looked into encryption ciphers, HDD speed, suggestions of using FTP or samba instead, an SSH patch called hp-ssh, tpc/ip tuning, none of which offered any help. Even grabbed a random usb thumb drive to use as the share and got the same speed from it. Ran through all the tests again and got the exact same speeds. Ruling out the drive, I got a similar 2tb one and formatted it as ext4. I realize SSH carries some overhead with encryption, I've tested this with no other network demands, same result, I'm not running top of the line new hardware but I'm not using the worst either. Exactly the same as the wired Pi 4, and it was connected wirelessly at around 70mbps. I copied a big file from the hard drive back to the hard drive itself and was getting around 80 MiB/sec. I know the problem isn't with the hard drive nor the USB 3.0 SATA connector. The problem is that when I copy files with Samba I only get around 10 MiB/sec.

My SFTP speeds max out at 1.9mb a second on my local network ( usually more like 1.7) this seems really slow to me. It has a USB 3.0 connection to a hard drive with a Raspberry Pi 4.

I just set up a media server on an old laptop and have been using sftp to transfer the files I create from my main computer to the new server.
