I meant to say in my last message that IIRC you're never going to |
18 |
actually achieve "gigabit" speeds. If your motherboard lacks an |
19 |
onboard gigabit card then you're limited by the PCI bus, and I don't |
20 |
know that most drives can even write as fast as gigabit. |

AFAICT one tends to use gigabit at present because it's "faster than |
23 |
100 Mbit/s" - one would probably be happy with 400 Mbit/s or so, but |
24 |
if you've never used NAS or network storage before then in general old |
25 |
100 Mbit/s ethernet is plenty fast enough for most people. Copying |
26 |
700mb across old 100 Mbit/s ethernet only takes 2 minutes (I should |
27 |
add this is from a slow old PIII 700mhz "NAS" to my dual-proc G5 Mac |
28 |
with 3gig RAM & SATA; copying the same file to the same disk on the G5 |
29 |
was less than 50% faster). |
