Hi, I have A95X box  with s905x with last Armbian_5.26...  image.  It  is used as replacement for NAS pi server.  All is working nicely, only Samba speed is 11 MB/s (both upload and download).   It is still much better then Pi speed (2,5 MB upload), However I expected more... (just more and more, that is what they want..)First I thought it is because of ntfs format of drivers, so I moved files of one drive out, formated to ext4, and moved files back.  However the speed did not get any better.   And also I have noticed the transfer speed from one USB NTFS drive to second NTFS drive  is 22 MB/s (with cpu ussage 42%), so it looks the CPU is not the bottleneck.
Please do you have any tips, what can be set, to get the network speed UP?
 

info
I connect 60Gb 2.5" IDE HDD via Jmicon USB-PATA-SATA bridge with ext power supply

The system is booted up and running
Also using gparted I ran a swap of 4GB  partition sda3
Using QEMU successfully launched winxpsp3 , 512 Mb RAM , with networking
Sandra 2005 determined the Pentium2-333 processor, the speed is about 70-200 MIPS

Yes ,  this is much faster and smooth if booted from HDD
