Re: Upgrading Your Home Network to Gigabit - The Speed Results

["Paul Bendall" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the link, I'll have a read later.

One other thing I was going to say was when testing large file transfer in
Windows (I know your test was Mac to Mac) you should be aware of the
buffering of the underlying copy process. Explorer, Copy, Xcopy and Robocoy
all buffer which puts data in the system cache for large files this will
run the system out of resources and slow the copy.

Instead you need an unbuffered, raw copy. Have a look at Teracopy.
