"[...] a 3 Gbit/s signaling rate was added to the Physical layer (PHY layer), effectively doubling data throughput from 150 MB/s to 300 MB/s." By my calculations, that should come out to about 2 1/4 minutes for a 40 GB file. and "Backward compatibility between SATA 1.5 Gbit/s controllers and SATA 3.0 Gbit/s devices was important, so SATA/300's autonegotiation sequence is designed to fallback to SATA/150 speed (1.5 Gbit/s rate) when in communication with such devices. In practice, some older SATA controllers do not properly implement SATA speed negotiation. Affected systems require user-intervention to manually set the SATA 3.0 Gbit/s peripherals to 1.5 Gbit/s mode, generally through the use of a jumper." Are you piping this through gzip or some other kind of process like that? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Roger E.

It's taken almost 3 hours to transfer about a 40GB Exchange private DB, and I'm wondering if there is a problem or if it's a problem related to the previous error. _______________________________________________ 909linux mailing list [email protected] http://909linux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/909linux
