I'm upgrading the connection between my main workstation and my fileserver to be gigabit ethernet, since those are the two computers that I use the most.
I got two Intel 1000/MT Pro cards and a Linksys 8-port gigabit switch. Transfer speed between them maxes out at about 15,000KBps, and it's not even a constant speed. One cable is Cat 6 and the other is Cat 5e. Both drives are 7200 RPM. Both are in 1000baseT/Full mode.
What kind of speeds should I be getting? What can I check or change to get the full speed?
