I think I can clear things up a bit for you guys....

They aren't lying when they say 1000 Mbit connections. The problem is that the processor will max out and not let the network interface do it's job.

You'll never get gigabit performance from these devices, or any NAS in the sub $1000 range.

The best thing you can do is use a netgear NA311 gigabit card with the latest driver.

The next thing to do is get a high quality CAT6 cables. The one that Thecus includes is not the best quality.

Then get a netgear prosafe gigbit hub. Make sure the thecus box and PC's are using the gigbit hub.

After doing this I was able to get 75 Mbps write speed from my 4100+ and 125 Mbps read speed. That turned out to be 10% better than thecus could obtain in their setup.
