Hey guys
I have recently purchased a Lacie Ethernet Disk 2TB (1Gbps ethernet card), im using a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition OS on A HP Proliant DL580 with SAS 15k RPM Drives.
I have put a CAT5e cable between the 2, the cable has printed accross is tested for Gigabit ethernet, i have IP communication between the two.
I have a scirpt that does an xcopy of some VMware images from the Windows Server to the Lacie Ethernet Disk.
for some reason i am only getting 15% bandwith usage, using some bandwidth monitoring software i can see im getting 120Mbps throughput, i understand the bottle necks and im not going to recieve a full 1000mpbs but i would of expected at least 400mbps??
Any ideas?
