Gigabit router, still slow transfer speed

More than likely it’s the puny little processor in the Pogoplug.

A 5400RPM drive is what I have in my desktop showing the above speeds.

OK, last question (maybe) … so Tony what two devices did you transfer between to get the 81Mbps speeds?

81 MB (with a capital B. :slight_smile:  )  which equates to 648 Mbps with a little b. :slight_smile: )

… was between my PC (internal WD drive) and the Cloud NAS.

Got it:  MB vs. Mbps.  I did mean to say, MB, so thanks for catching my error.  :dizzy_face:

BTW, here are the specs for the Pogoplug Series 4 device.  Does it shed any light on the processor’s quality, etc?

  • Pogoplug Series 4
  1. Processor: Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)
  2. CPU Hardware: Feroceon-KW
  3. BogoMIPS: 799.5
  4. Total Memory: 128MB

Mot really, but you can try this: find a large file (1GB or bigger) on the disk attached to the Pogo

Then on the pogo shell, do this:

time cat (path to file) > /dev/null

… which will tell you how fast the pogo will be able to read from the disk.

Doing this with a 2GB file on the Cloud yielded 100 megabytes per second.

Network transfer will always be slower than that.
