I don’t know that much about the numbers, I read all the spiel early on after being annoyed with the speed that my files were going onto the hub. So in the end I filed up the internal as quick as I could from my hard drives, and only add the odd TV epsidode to it now.
What I did find was small files like 100mb, did not give a real sense of speeds. Moving something like a 6Gb MKV did though, as the speed picks up then drops down and steadys out.
You dont really have to transfer it, just cancel it once it stabilises.
I am using Windows 8 now, and it pops up a nice graph when transferring. Recently bought a new Router (ASUS RT-N56U), so hard wired I transferred a 350mb file then a 2 Gb file and cancelled the 2Gb one after it flattedned out.
Ratch - You can probably get better speeds by modifying your nic properties. I typically see 60Mb/second transfering 30Gb to the Hub and 100Mb/second + transfering the same file to other drives on my network(LAN). Other than having a gigabit switch & cat6 cables the only mod I made was to the “Link Speed & Duplex” in the nic’s properties, I changed this propery to 1Gbps full duplex from 10Mbps half duplex.
I have the Hub hardwired to Asus N56U with Win7. I set my NIC to Jumbo Packet and 1gbs full duplex. When I transfer exceptionally large files over 4GB to the hub, I get 13.8MBs. This is about the best I think you can do with the Hub as its processor just can’t handle more data speed. Before I got my fast Asus router, I was usually limited to about 10-11MBs. Before I upgraded to the Hub I had the plain Live Streaming Media Player and its 100mbs interface. That transfer speed was about 7-8MBs.
when it try to copy anythign liek a movie form form my PC to my WD live hub it transfers at like 105KB/s (not bytes or w.e that is called storage units)
and when i try to make m movie sheets and series/season icons it takes 23423423423434 years an episodes/folder
it goes mega slow.
i currently use teh WD Link thing to make my hub a drive Tuunbgen recgonises.
is there an easier way to connect internal hard drive of the hu to PC cause atm u gotta put my shows in a thumb drive put it into hub and move it from there on the hub. thats nto problem and fast but still more work.
both page 2 and page 3 I posted speed test results
also turn off media library
every time you generate a sheet, the compiling media library process is probably starting and will use both network bandwidth and i/o bandwidth on the hdd
also you should probably just use the windows map network drive feature, I don’t know what the WD program does
ok i did that and for some reason now when i open ThunbGen the drives list in it is “out of date” like its showing drives that arent there anymore and not where my drive i is now.
i.e i disocnnect the drive u made with wD link whcih was at I: and used te windows 8 mapping to do it on H: but when i open thunbgen after it only shows I: and not H: like its not refreshing i click frefresh on thunbgen and nothing
EDIT:
now thunbgen is showing all the drived but the one i mapped. i mapped it to S: and its not being seen in list for some reason.
heres a cpiture of how i setup the network drive the my computer screen adn the thunbgen screen with drives list
