It's definitely worth it for servers. Remember the problem I had a week ago with Windows 2008 backup? I hadn't put the new backup procedure in place so temporarily backed up the files over the network. It was *faster* than reading from the local hard drive. I had forgotten the 2 servers shared a gigabyte connection. So it's going to stay that way. -- Paul ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Theoretically, the max performance should be about 480 megabits. In actuality, is the USB adapter better than 100 megabits?

Re: [NF] Anybody using USB Gigabit ethernet adapters?
Well that sounds very ironic due to the fact that max usb 2.0 is limited to 480 mb/s like you mentioned. That means that your max throughput is cut in half for technology that is only adopted right now by those that need high throughput. Such as gamers or for backup purposes. I would suggest that if you want gigabit to find space in a pci slot which will allow you to get the full throughput speed. Just make sure that all the hardware devices that the data has to go through, I.E. Router, bridge, switches, hardware firewall has gigabit ports otherwise you will be limited by the slowest device.

Re: [NF] Anybody using USB Gigabit ethernet adapters?
The office I'm thinking of converting to gigabit has all new computers, so they already have gigabit cards in them. There are a few computers with 100 megabit cards, and a few notebooks with 100 megabit cards. I'm thinking of using the USB adapters only for the laptops and get some inexpensive gigabit cards for the other computers. Right now I'm not sure the expense is worth it for any of this. The only slow throughput we have is when reindexing databases or running some SQL selects from the NAS which we are using as the data server now. The reindexing is only for emergencies and the SQL selects are only for month-end processing. --- On Thu, 10/2/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NF] Anybody using USB Gigabit ethernet adapters?
