Windows LAN file transfer speeds
Windows LAN file transfer speeds
Hey there, I see you're just starting out on this forum. It looks like your LAN speeds haven't been what you hoped for lately. I noticed your music files were sorted and synced using FileMenue Tools, but when moving other files with TeraCopy it felt similar. You moved files from your Notebook via GB Ethernet (Realtek) to your PC, which also showed low usage on the LAN adapters—around 200Mbit most of the time. Your CPUs are only about 20% busy, and the HDD you were using was at 50% capacity. The SSD you copied from was running at 20%. No obvious bottleneck seems to be there. Are you thinking of testing different file sizes or storage types (like switching to another HDD/SSD combo)? Thanks for sharing your setup details—any suggestions would be appreciated!
When handling numerous files, particularly smaller ones, processing becomes much slower due to the additional demands on the file system for each item.
What kind of Ethernet cables are you employing? Are you connecting via a switch or a router? Is the device capable of gigabit speeds? On Windows, press the F12 key followed by R to open Network Connections, view the network adapter, adjust duplex and speed settings, set it to 1 Gbps full-duplex, and confirm changes. Repeat on both devices and retry. Keep in mind that speeds are shown in megabits, not megabytes—calculate accordingly by dividing megabits by 8.
