I’m connecting mybooklive to a gigabit switch. I can see my pc is reporting 1gbps in the network adapter status. but stil at most i can get is 10-12 MBps while transfering file to my WD hdd. I ssh to the device and did a check and found this:
MyBookLive:/dev# cat /var/log.hdd/kern.log | grep eth0

Have you tried another cable rated at least CAT5e… Also maybe try another port on the switch… If still no go, try connecting the drive to your Router or PC directly and see if you can lock in at 1000 Mbps/ 1.0 Gbps
oh yea! replug to another port works fine. should be a faulty switch port.
