    How to verify what you paid for is what you get.

    Hi, Tim The vendor is using speakeasy which shows near theoretical maximums, however other speedtest sites are more reflective of what I am experiencing in terms of performance. Having a server with a file on it in their infrastructure still wouldn't prove what goes on once you leave...

    How to verify what you paid for is what you get.

    Hi, How can I verify that I have a 100 meg line to the Internet and that it is not being selectively shaped in some unknown way? I've tried various speed tests sites, but who is to say which, if any, are accurate? I also downloaded known files from Microsoft and gotten abysmal...

    Ubuntu 9.10 with ext4 filesystem on Linux RAID5, superb performance!

    How did you do this? What network card are you using? Do you think I would need to manually tweak a QNAP 639-PRO to get anywhere close to your results in a 32 bit environment?

    Network speed in a gigabit LAN

    Hi, Tim I know you're the expert and that you're busy so i will try hard to be brief. 1. Is it valid to use the time it takes to copy a set number of files as a rough estimate of network speed? Or is that totally bogus? 2. Based on the above, is 27 MB per second low for a gigabit...
