JamesK · 07-18-2008, 05:55 PM

I downloaded 33GB worth of archived data the other day, but it was only at 2Mbit/sec.

moneybiz · 07-18-2008, 08:45 PM

i just ordered the 30meg package for 100$ a month cant wait.

WarChild · 07-18-2008, 08:52 PM

25 MB/s here. Your connection, like yourself, is a little slow.

Yngwie · 07-18-2008, 08:54 PM

16mbps here

Why is RAID relevant, it's not like transferring one (1) megabyte per second to/from a HD is blisteringly fast...

The striping allows for faster data reads directly into the pipe that plus the large cache on the SCSI drives and huge data blocks

a standard hdd would have slowed the system down some

Time Warner Cable only offers 15 Mbps down / 2 Mbps up where I'm at. I can download at 1.4 MB/s but it's rare to find a server that will actually serve it that fast for some reason.

pussyserver - BANNED FOR LIFE · 07-18-2008, 11:14 PM

yeah this was a server to workstation transfer

I am not sure what type of pipe the workstation in on I was RDP into it but im betting they got fiber to the door .. at least

woj · 07-18-2008, 11:17 PM

it's not THAT fast, not even 100mbit...

Clairify. Did you download it at 8 Mbps or 8 MBps. HUGE differnce. 8 MBps would be 64 Mbps. Which ISP in the US offers 64 Mbps?

No I'm asking a legitimate question. You sated in your thread title 8 MB per sec. With the M & B in CAPITALS. In case you didn't know there is a difference between MB and Mb.

Now you are saying 8186KB/s. So do you really mean KB as in kiloBYTE to Kb as in kiloBIT? because 8186 KB/s is 64 Mbps.

if your ISP says is has 8 meg speed it really means it has 8 Mbps speed as in 8 MegaBIT. 8 MegaBITS would download 1 MB or 1 MegaBYTE of data per sec.

gecko · 07-19-2008, 12:49 AM

10mbps here... and I always thought my connection was slow.

My $45 80GB SATA HD can do sustained transfers of 40MB+ per sec

My VelociRaptor does 120MB+ per sec

Again, I don't see how RAID is relevant when it's the internet connection that is the limiting factor.

WRONG

That?s a common misconception,,, with todays internet speeds both on the end user and the data center connects are plenty fast

Almost always the slow down occurs at the hardware level

This is why you see hosting companies selling dedicated machines with a ton of bandwidth? they know that the machines hardware limitations can only x amount of data per month due to hardware limitations ?. Not because of the pipe

A striped raid box reads bits of data from each drive ( kind of like a torrent ) this allows this allows the system to push more data in into the cache on to the bus to the ram to the cpu back to the ram out to the network at a faster rate

RAID striping improves performance in a way you will never understand until you try it

rowan · 07-19-2008, 01:23 AM

A server looking after 100 simultaneous connections hanging off a clear 100Mbit or gigabit hosting network is a little different to downloading a single file over your relatively low bandwidth 8Mbps connection........ I reiterate that reading or writing one megabyte per second is not hard work for a standard HD. Not by a long shot.
