I'm running Pi4 4Gb as my Time Machine and Media Storage via smb server + PiHole. Speeds were always inferior, but I suspected problem was WD My Passport with HFS+ (for time machine) and exfat formatting (couldn't change it because occasionally I needed it to carry with me and stick in Windows PC's. So recently I reformatted it into ext4 and speeds for writing are about 5-10 MB/s from both laptop and smartphone. Tests I've done:

• with connection to laptop type-c port with Ubuntu VM (for ext4) or MacOS speeds are 70-80 MB/s on writing
• HDD is connected to USB 3.0 port on PI
• Tested performance of HDD while connected to Pi sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/ext4/speedTestFile bs=20M count=5 oflag=direct shown 99.6 MB/s
• iperf3 results are 63-89.7 Mbits/s over both 2.4 and Wifi 5 which represents my experience perfectly.Here's a small issue as in my current location both server (my laptop) and client(pi) for both wireless and I can't connect any of them with cable. But still I believe speeds are crazy low and even thou my current router is from IP and pretty simple there is no load on it to have such speeds.
• Cloudflare speed test from laptop shows upload 560Mbps and download 273 Mbps with WIFI5, so I am kind of lost here.

Any advice what can be done to increase speed of file transfer inlocal network? write speed test
