Greetings all!

Well, I grabbed TeraCopy and tried the transfers. (Nice program BTW)

To the Dell PowerEdge 2900, the rate is 56~63MBPS. To the 410 it's 9~11MBPS. On the 520 it's 35~40MBPS.

Interestingly, to a P4 3.06HT system on XPPro, it gets about the same as the 410. This makes me suspect that the 410 NIC chipset is not too robust... As a lark, I hooked another 2900 up which is on the FAR end of my network and must go through 2 Gigabit switches.... it gets just about the same as the other 2900. In my opinion, this definitely excludes my network in the equation.

I've tried several sized files, different cables, rebooting the 410, etc etc.

It is, what it is. As mentioned earlier, it's better than to a Buffalo NAS, which is about 5~7MBPS, so it's *something*.

Cannot see any settings to change frame sizes, etc, and the RAM on the 410 is now 2GB (System sees it just fine) and all appears to be working normally.

Any thoughts?
