Thank you kanewolf, No I do not have VLANs The switch is a Unmanaged switch. I get it now about the USB storage, that will not be a requirement!! I will concentrate on speeding my internal network up and improve my data transfer speeds across the network.

Thank you bill001g & Ralston18 for your thoughts. They were very much appreciated! I currently have a 2.5Gbps network cards in my PCs and a 2.5 GB Switch. That is why I thought having the 4 Lan Ports at 2.5Gbps would complement my system? I do move a lot of Video Files on the network. I...

Thanks Bill for your idea. I would have thought I can not make it any more simple than connect two network cards together with CAT6 and measure the data flow between them. I originally thought the problem lay at the switch or the router that is why i disconnected them and removed them from the...
