Hi everyone,
I would like to share my experience with My book Live 2T (Product Firmware: 02.32.05-046) and my MacBook Pro 2,4 Ghz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB RAM (1333Mhz DDR3) with OSx 10.7.5
I try uploading and dowloading a 1024 MB (= 1 GB) .bpm file using Ethernet, Wi-FI and USB 2.0 port
Results with Ethernet cable:
directly connected with Mac
40 sec for Upload = 25,6 MB/s
20 sec for Download = 51,2 MB/s
Results with WI-FI
using a NETGEAR DG834G v2 teorically with max speed 54Mb/s = 6,8 MB/s:
7 min and 40 sec = 432 sec for Upload = 2,4 MB/s
12 min and 36 sec = 756 sec for Download = 1,4 MB/s
Results with USB 2.0
using a LACIE Brick Desktop 1T Hard Drive
40 sec for Upload = 25,6 MB/s
31 sec for Download = 33,0 MB/s
So I experience some difference with Ehternet and USB only for dowload (Ethernet is 55% fastest).
With Wi-FI performances are so bad!!!
10,7 times slower for Upload (Ethernet and USB 2.0)
36,6 times slower for Download (Ethernet) and 23,6 times (USB 2.0)
This means that if you download 1 GB with Ethernet you need 20 seconds, with USB.20 you need 31 seconds, with WI-FI you need 12 minutes and 36 seconds!!!
Maybe with a better WI-FI router performances improves, but… that’s approximately what to expect!
Let me know what you think about it.
Thanks
