1Gb Network

[DustyMiller]

Mornin'

At home i have my Server 2003 with a marvell Yukon onboard network port which is a 1Gbps port, connected via a Netgear 5port Gigabit card with a 10Gb fabric, to my Vista x64 machine with a Realtek onboard 1Gb port.

Yet when transfering any files between the two, i only manage to get @ 25% bandwidth used ????

Why ????

Help !!!!

Please

1Gbps is 125MBps, right? You'll probably find your hard drives aren't capable of sending or receiving data at that rate unless it's a raptor or SSD or something. My 7200rpm drives have an average transfer rate in the region of 60 to 70 MBps.

Use iperf to eliminate wether it's the network or the hard disks.

One one PC, do:

iperf -s

on the other do:

iperf -c <ipaddress> -r
