Still interesting though.

Yeah, my 2 x Maxtor plus 9's @ 7200 on Raid 0 top out at 90Mb sec sustained.

923 / 8 = 115.375mbytes/sec

Doesen't really seem all that impressive now, does it? Although I guess it is, considering even LANs top out at less than 100mbytes/sec.

That means it took them roughly 58 seconds to transfer 6.7gb.

Under a minute? Yep.... barely. ;)

Maybe eventually everybody will need gigabit ethernet cards.

i thought LAN's were 100mBIT

teh WINNAR!
