ISSUES

    • MB = megabytes, Mb = megabits.
    • I have a gigabit (125MB/s) switch but network doesn't run at gigabit speeds. The router is 100Mb/s (12.5MB/s) and assigns all IPs. I want to see if the s76.94.229.134/ http://peed is limited by the router, as if all data must go through it. Today I set the IPs on the computers and removed the router. The speeds did not change.

      • MASTER to guest_computer: 22.3MB/s

    • Whoops, I'm only getting 100Mbit/s (12.5MB/s) to eCenter. I checked with the ethernet card in eCenter.

    • Now I want to see if the speed is limited by the transfer rate on the hard drives.
      • Across the same hard drive. That means seek time.
        • MASTER: 55.2MB/s
        • guest_computer: 21MB/s
        • eCenter 1Tb: 51.2MB/s
        • eCenter 2Tb: 25MB/s
      • From hard drive to hard drive on the same computer, no seek time.
        • eCenter: 43.2MB/s
        1Tb hard drive is twice as fast as 2Tb hard drive. The 2Tb is refilling the buffer as 1Tb writes.
      • The only place I get set of numbers to compare is the guest_computer. Transfers from network are 22MB/s, across the hard drive 21MB/s. That accounts for seek time.

    • New problem. eCenter had a bad cable. Now the transfer rates are
      • Master to 1Tb: 72.7MB/s
      • Master to 2Tb: 61.8MB/s
      I have no idea.
