I have the following:

VERSION v2.04 02-2007 Operating System Version
Router: Dlink Dir-655
Main PC: P4 2.8 with a Netgear GA311
Naslite PC: Dell GX1 PII 400, 384 memory.

Using DU Meter with the new cards I get max transfer rate of 31 and average of 20.


Before on 10/100 I was getting MTR 9.83 and average 7.63.

Shouldn't my new transfer rate be higher than what it is?

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

The nic reads like the following on the Nas box -

* eth0: Identified chip type is 'RTL8169s/8110s'.
* eth0: RTL8169 at 0xd8805000, 00:1b:2f:c7:34:fc, IRQ 10
* eth0: Auto-negotiation Enabled.
* eth0: 1000Mbps Full-duplex operation.
* eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:2F:C7:34:FC
* inet addr:192.168.248.185 Bcast:192.168.248.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I guess I can try it with another PC and put the Gigabit nic in it.

Mileage will vary depending on hardware, network topology and so on. It could be your disk read/write speeds, yous system bus, the cables, the router, the client or something else. Still tho, doubling your speed is worth the move in my opinion.

I test the Router with two new HPs at work and got 150bm transfer speeds so I am guessing it might be the old Dell can only do so much.

What is a good aver transfer speed with gigabit?

Ive seen mid 20s to high 40s on stuff I've done. I've found that most important is to make sure the disk controllers and the nics have dedicated IRQs. That and good cables with a capable router will usually peek one of the PCs, client or server. Then you look at bus speed, controller speed, drive speed, and all that fun stuff.

i can sustain 2 57 MB/s transfers on my NasLite system - this is pretty much topping out the throughput of my SATA hard drives.

What are your system specs? That is a very high speed, I usually get 11-25MB/sec on mine, with an Athlon XP 2200+ and 7200RPM ATA100 drives.

Dell GX260?
P4 2.4 ghz
2 GB RAM
onboard gigabit enet
DLink 655 gigabit/802.11/n router

2x WD "Green" 1 TB SATA drives on the onboard SATA
2x WD something or other cheap 500 GB 7200 RPM PATA drives on the two separate onboard PATA

see this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2383&st=0&sk=t&sd=a


the following is my results from one machine, to actually max out the gigabit network, i need two clients connected to 2 separate disks in the NASLite server (i max out a single drive's throughput far before i max out my 1000bT network)
