If anyone here is running a GBit network what are you getting between two clients?
I am transfering a file and getting about 300Mbps

that file has to be read/written though so how fast can your HDDs work?
edit : too late/early & i'm getting my MB, Mb, mb confused ...![]()

write speed will be slower though.
1 Gigabit/s is 125MB/s
300Mb/s is 37.5MB/s
I have a Dell Powerconnect 2616 GbE switch (4 yrs old stuff) that doesn't support Jumbo-Frame.
All my machines are Cat6 connected.
The transfer speed is heavily dependent on what program you use to transfer.
Windows explorer is **** for almost all situation.
My 2 fastest clients use:
Intel Pro/1000 PT
Nforce4 (Marvell chipset i think)
(Following are in Src -> Dest format)
RAID5 -> 1x Non-RAID 40MB/s
1x Non-RAID -> RAID5 40MB/s
1x Non-RAID -> 1x Non-RAID 40MB/s
2x Non-RAID -> 2x Non-RAID 65MB/s
3x Non-RAID -> 3x Non-RAID 83MB/s
At 70MB/s+ the CPU basically maxed out with optimization set to throughput.
Push / Pull also seems to have some effect on speed
Transffered using Total Commander. Speed with Windows Explorer is more random and could get like 10~25MB/s per thread.
I guess if I could use Jumbo-Frame the speed should be slightly faster.
Update: I just verified the data with my (slow) NF430 and it cap at 50% GbE usage with 2 threads. Don't have that much hdds in the other testing machine anymore so I can't test 3 threads.

That's still pretty fast, I think I will go gigabit when I get a NAS![]()
ya thats a good idea for nas

well I use XP to 2003 server both Asus onboard. I copied a 1GB file and my overall use never went over 30%. My end is 2 x 250GB SATA 150 Drives RAID 0 on the other is 2 x 500GB Samsung SATA 300 drives in RAID 1.

What is a utility that can monitor hard drive I/O?
I only can see my network card's I/O in task manager, and it's only in "percent"... not that useful, really, since it never goes over like ~20%.
That'd be HDTach
