gigabit network limited to 200Mbps

[sb00nk]

i know that i've no needs of a super-server dedicated for my home network usage (basically ssh, ftp, smb, bittorrent and rsync) where the smb system is the most band consuming process but don't you think that if i go for an upgrade, a x64 system will be better?

that board has a celeron 847 sandy bridge on it.
it supports x64.
its very good value for money for a small nas.

really thanks for your help, i'll probably buy this board with 4 GB of RAM and a Intel PRO 1000 MT 0655C for improve my network

sorry if i've opened another "Slow network tranfert" thread =)

the old hardware wasn't the real problem, i think..

this is my new setup:
NAS4Free 9.1.0.1 (revision 804) x64-embedded
ALASKA A M I Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 847 @ 1.10GHz 4598MiB RAM

bus=1 hubaddr=1 port=0 devaddr=2 interface=0 bus=2 hubaddr=4 port=1
devaddr=3 interface=0 PLIP network interface RTL8169S/8110S/8211
1000BASE-T media interface Intel Panther Point USB 2.0 controller
bus=1 hubaddr=1 port=1 devaddr=2 interface=0

and the performance in trasfert:

can you test the speed with http://crystalmark.info/software/Crysta ... dex-e.html ?

[sb00nk]

i think you get the problem, in fact this is the test of primary disk

i've also a secondary disk on my desktop, so i've tested it as well

and made a transfert to this disk

yes. now mount the network share and run the test on the mounted drive.

[b0ssman]

btw that was point 8 on the list from post #5 to check for performance problems.

the test on nas disk

yes, but someone said at post #10

SATA1 is able to transfer 150MB/second, so this or the PCI bus with 133MB/second are not the large limiting factor

so i've stopped testing hard drives because they are all SATA connected
