Network setup:
Main PC in sig
DIR-655
Custom WHS running a Intel Pro 1000 GT nic (Pentium D930, 2gb ram, WD 640 black, 1.5TB Seagate)
Both systems are setup to use jumbo frames, 9000 on the main pc and 9014 on the server (Intel setting). Turned off flow control on both which seemed to help. Maximum transfer speed I get between the 2 is 60MB's/sec when transferring files. Which is good don't get me wrong but im trying to find what else I could do to increase the speed closer to 100MB/s. I've tried reading up as much as I could and the only things I could come up with are:
CAT 6 cabling (which I cant see making an impact over my CAT5E with 3ft runs)
Atheros onboard nic
WHS operating system itself
Aside from enabling jumbo frames and turning off flow control I haven't made any Driver or OS changes. Any help to increase my speed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
