My Nas is a turtle..(10mb/s)

[jonnyrb]

Hello,

I call it a NAS but it's really just a computer running Windows 7 Pro. I intend to use it as a NAS though. I have it all set up and when I went to transfer files to it, it was only sending at 10.8MB/s to 11.2MB/s this is over a, what I thought was a 1GB/s network. On second look one of the PC's is limited to 100MB/s, thus probably limiting the transfer. Isn't 10.9MB/s a lot slower than... 100MB/s?

also curious if half duplex would benefit more from a, generally just sending, or just receiving atmosphere? In case my illustration is awful, I have THIS PC, connected to a DIR-615, set at 100MB full duplex in port 1, and I have the NAS in port 4 of the DIR-615


EDIT: I know a cross over cable would make things much simpler, but it defies the purpose of my future goals.

There is BIG different between B(byte) and b(bit). A B= 8 bit (b)

Anyway when you transfer to a 10/100Mbps network connection, you are limited to this bandwidth, which 12.5MB/sec (in theory). to increase speed make sure your connection is Gb/s

Beside that, you should use WHS, FreeNAS or OpenFiler for NAS instead Window7
