Low intranet transfer speeds between windows PCs using gigabit network
Hello everyone,
I decided to open this thread about a subject which has been discussed widely in different forums on the net, namely the extremely low transfer rates of data between PCs running Windows using a gigabit network, because I think to have observed something which - as far as I see - was never reported anywhere else until now.
So, this post is based on my report here, which i will now republish in a slightly modified way.
I see the same problems many others are reporting, i.e. low transfer rates between two windows PCs (7 <> 10 or 10<> 10) over a gigabit network, my transfer rates are never higher than 25MB/s and go down to a few MB/s in many cases.
However, I did carry out some test using the following software: Downloads | Totusoft
And the results are impressive!!! Testing the transfer of files of 500 MB and 2 GB in size I get up to 800+ Mbi/s transfer rates (in both direction and between all PCs), which is what I would expect from my pc/gigabit-network configuration.
So, if transfer rates up to 800 Mbi/s are possible (this corresponds to approx. 200 MB/s, if I'm not wrong), than the problem cannot be hardware-related but must lie in some windows-related stuff. I did not have this problem with my 3x win7 pc network, only when I installed win 10 on two of these PCs I started to get the limited rates).
For everyone observing the low transfer rates using the windows copy system, please try the SpeedTestSoft I shared above, run it more than one time to get some statistics and please report if you're observing the same stuff as I am.
So, question remains: what is the problem with windows which does not allow the high transfer speeds which are allowed on a hardware level?!
Cheers
