..but I noticed that the Infrant supports Gigabit Ethernet, so if the PC also has GigE and you have a GigE switch, how would the network transfer times compare with an external USB or Firewire drive? (which is what I've got at the moment) Would GigE not be at least comparable? (I'm not an expert on this and I'm sure there are lots of factors that would affect performance) -- mikerob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikerob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=835 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24523 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
