1000GB Network only getting 8.2mbps read/writes from WD hub?

If you read the review I attached to my message you will see that its a bit of a ‘marketing ploy’ on the hub. I did not mean in general. We are discussing the hub.

I ,like many others ,made a decision to buy this item based on advertised hardware specs. My entire home network is gigabit. To make a machine that has a gigabit port and then not give it a processor that has enough power to be able to make full use it is just building to the lowest common parts price. In my opinion, one that might backfire. I am now very gunshy about buying ANYTHING by WD. I used to always buy WD hard drives but now I will think twice on my next purchase. I suspect that many other people will also think this way. This might be a marketing ploy by WD but it was wrong.
