Realistic File / Network Transfer Speeds
I don’t know about you, but I hate reading boxes with their “theorical” max speeds. Here are real tested transfer speeds using win7 as a test program of various file transfer speeds. The list will be ongoing. Please feel free to leave comments and I’ll add it to this list.

I used windows 7 file transfer for one simple reason. Windows isn’t getting the max IO out when you use your computer, so why test it with a program that is designed to get the max IO. At the end of the day, you want to see how fast your files transfer by the program that you use everyday. Not what a test program can try to squeeze out of your IO. While its not the most scientific method, it does provide a more realistic environment to how fast everything is.
