Network Noob!

[pp111]

I am messing with my network, and have what I hope is a simple question. I've simplified the setup for the purposes of the question!

I have a Netgear Managed Switch with three PC's on the ports. Two PC's are connected to their own 1gps port on the switch. The third is connected to a 10gbps port.

Can I transfer files from the two 1gps PC's simultaneously to the 10gps PC, expecting the performance to be about 2gbps? ( Ignoring such problems as whether the disks are fast enough in PC 3. ).

I think Marc may have misread your post.

If they're all on the same switch, you should indeed see 2gbps traffic to the 10gb port.

Good, that is what I was thinking. I mean it seems obvious because otherwise there would be no point in having 10g ports on the switch! But I thought I would ask, because even though this is only for fun I don't want to buy stuff and then found out I had made an idiot mistake. And yes, I was uncertain how to word it, sorry MarcLister if I was confusing.
