Hi,
I've recently built a very low power PC that I'm using as a central file storage PC. I'm also using it to stream movies to my 3 Pi's, but I'm getting a little frustrated with slow transfer speeds when I'm transferring movies from one PC to the next. I get about 11mb/sec.
The set up I was using;
PC > 10/100 Switch > Router > File PC.
So to test the speeds I made the follow changes;
PC > Router > File PC (Avoiding the limiting switch)
After this change the transfer speeds over the local network was still coming out at 11mb/sec.
I checked the spec of the router (BT Home Hub 3) and it states 300mb/s. Am I right in saying that standard hard drives (5400/7200) read and write faster than 11mb/sec right? If so, where do you think my problem lies?
Thanks
Craig
