(For the record, I have no clue if this is a disk issue or a networking issue, but I know this forum a little better so I'm hoping you can help me out either way ).
Computer one is a server running Windows Server 2008 serving files over a Gigabit network. Computer two is my desktop upstairs, also Gigabit. However, these are my results copying a bunch of files:
Server ("Disk 1 (R: ) " is what we're writing to): http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9993/networkoddness1.png
My desktop: http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7716/networkoddness2.png
Is this normal? I know there's overhead but really enough to only give me 1/8th the nominal speed?
EDIT: For anyone who stumbles upon this in the future, the issue ended up being one of the drives in my array, which appears only to read/write at 1.5MB/s, even though SMART states it is fine. Removing that drive from the array fixed all my issues.
