I have a Gigabit network connection on both my PC (in Sig) and on my server (Intel motherboard Xeon based machine with 2003 server enterprise). Both have RAID 5 arrays with 3 drives in my machine and 8 drives in my server. I also have a router but I do not transfer data through it for local file transfers. When I transfer files to the server I am only getting about 10MB of transfer speed. The files are all sizes from large video files to small text files. I am wondering why the speed is so slow. I was expecting to see about 30MB on the low end and up to 60MB on the high end.
I am using a low end Switch

Is it really that bad or should I look in another direction?
I have not done a transfer test using a x-over cable yet.
