what is the bottleneck for data transfer from Windows to NAS?

Question

Dear Experts,

I'm running a Windows 11 desktop PC and I have a Synology NAS in my home network. I'm trying to copy my files from an HDD drive to my NAS storage pool.

The network cable is 1GB speed, and the NAS and the Windows PC are both connected to the same switch with cables. I checked that the HDD seems normal in Windows Performance, it's showing 100MB capacity. My question is, what might be the bottleneck of this? now the copying speed is only up to 10MB per second.
