Being a bit fed up of waiting upto an hour to tranfster 20-30gigs at 100Mbs via ethernet I thought I might take take advantage of the unused i-link port on the Sony and installed a firewire card in the other pc instead of the ethernet card. Connected the 2 together, configured the TCP/IP settings and we're away.<BR /><BR />Both pcs detect the connection at 400Mbs. However when I try copying between the two pcs the fastest transfer rate I can achieve is around 100Mbs - so no net gain. Task Manager reports usage averaging 20%.<BR /><BR />Can anyone explain why the transfer rate could be so far below the specified maximum?<BR /><BR />Many thanks in advance<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 29 Mar 2004 15:44:35 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/firewire-ilink-speed-issues/m-p/100667#M40218 sfx 2004-03-29T15:44:35Z firewire/ilink speed issues https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/firewire-ilink-speed-issues/m-p/100670#M40219 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yeah I have found the exact same issue when networking, when I use my ipod I get around 330MB/sec<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 29 Mar 2004 15:52:14 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/firewire-ilink-speed-issues/m-p/100670#M40219 kee-lo_ 2004-03-29T15:52:14Z firewire/ilink speed issues https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/firewire-ilink-speed-issues/m-p/100671#M40220 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I understand that the transfer rates are theoretical maximums. I would have thought that you would be restricted to the 'weakest link in the chain' - presumably the older PC with the Duron?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 30 Mar 2004 10:24:56 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/firewire-ilink-speed-issues/m-p/100671#M40220 tellingd 2004-03-30T10:24:56Z
