5 Port Netgear GS605UK

i've got the GS605UK, was delivered just yesterday infact, works very well

i did worry a bit to start with as the speeds didn't change from before (was still only getting the 10MB/s) but it turned out that the malwarebytes protection module on my pc was affecting it somehow

disabled that and it's all good :)

what speeds are you getting now say moving a 4.35gb file

here ya go, average about 70MB/s although i think it's my HDDs thats the limiting factor here

I have just picked up a HP ProCurve 1800-8G cheap...I think the main difference is that this one is a managed version.

This is what I have I...I think it is just the "managed" version of the 1400, I get decent transfer speeds with it, I am just using the onboard gigabit ethernets, however, I recently bought an Intel Pro1000 GT 2nd hard which I will put into the WHS box, which should increase its transfer rate...the only option I made sure was enabled in the 1800 was "jumbo frames" haven't bothered with changing any other options...

Why would fitting Intel® PRO/1000 GT DESKTOP ADAPTER be faster than onboard gigabit lan?
 
Sounds about right, I get around 70-75MB/sec between my Macs or using FTP to the PC.

HDD and crappy NICS can limit the speed - don't see more than 35MB/sec on my old P4 with a cheapo PCI gigabit card in it. Can't really justify the cost of sticking an Intel NIC in it.

Depends what the onboard is. The Marvell chip on my Asus P35 board gives similar speeds to the above. I suspect an Realtek chip on a low priced motherboard might be more limiting.
 
Can i fit say another gigabit card into my WHS meaning I have 2 and connect them to the switch then have 2 gigabit cards in my main PC to double the transfers.

Can I do this?

Theoretical limit for Gigabit in ideal conditions with a following wind is 120MB/sec so you'd need to be going some. Does WHS support hardware RAID?

I believe you'd need a pair of identical NICs that support teaming (ie Intel) and the switch needs to support link aggregation. The 1400-8G apparently does, so it's a fair assumption the 1800-8G does also.

The 1800-8G does support link aggregation..WHS doesn't support Hardware raid so I guess I would be limited by HDD speed?

* Designed with no fan: enables quiet operation for deployment in open spaces

This is exciting :p
 
Well we did say the procurve is good :)

Well I've got Jumbo set to 7000 on both my Win7 Machines (see sig) and I get ~85-90 MB/s transfer, though for the life of me I cannot get my jumbo frames to change on my Macbook and i only get ~40MB/s from that.

It's called MTU on the Mac.

On Leopard/Snow Leopard its under :
System Preferences
Network
Select Ethernet then click Advanced.
On the Ethernet panel it's the option called MTU

Mine are all set to 1500 still, and I get 70-75Mb/sec off a decent HDD.
 
I know that, but when I back out it refuses to stick and when I go back in it has changed; I have a thread in Apple Software sub forum but with no replies yet.
