Hi folks,
I regularly have to transfer lots of large files at home between various pcs and networked drives.
On the Vista network I'm currently obtaining around 8.11MB/sec when moving them (usually around 100gb and about 10,000 thousand files).
Can anyone tell me if this is to be expected and if possible, how I can speed this up?
All the pcs involved are pretty meaty, all vista 64 ultimate - decent HDs (16mb cache min, 7200), Network is 100mb ethernet (though not sure exactly where the 100mb comes from!)
Finally it's going through a router (Netgear DG834PN).
If anyone can help me speed this up, I'd be most appreciative!
