Dlink DIR 655 transfer rate is slow on gigabit.

Hi, just wondering why my transfer rate is slow on my dir 655 (firmware 1.21). Last night I was transferring a video (356mb) from my PC to the PS3 and it took about 1 min. Both my pc and pS3 are wired. Both are using cat5e cable and nothing else is wired into the router. I have a intel pro 1000 gigabit card in my pc connected at 1000. The PS3 is set to 1000BASE-T. I was using Java media server. The router is in my room with the PC, and the PS3 Is a floor down. The cat5e from the ps3 to the router is about 30 feet. My desktop is XP sp3 2gb ram and 7200 rpm harddrive. the transfer rate is about as good as my notebook (intel 5300) Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks

 

The math of 350 MegBytes in 60 seconds over a 1000 MegBit/second connection works out pretty well in your favor.

What kind of transfer speeds do you expect and more importantly, why?

 

that's actually not very good speeds at all. that equates to approx 6 megabytes/sec. I'd expect more than that even from 100 megabit connection.

 

Hmm, Java media server? Check your CPU usage, Java is notorious for gobbling up lots of resources. Also if you have other programs using the hard drive at the same time the transfer rate will plummet down, so check backup programs, defraggers, any P2P software you may be running, antivirus, all that stuff.

It could also be the PS3, i don't know how well it handles networking. Check transfer speeds from computer to laptop first.

 

Yeah I believe its the ps3. I read around the net about slow transfer rate between the pc and ps3. Both my cpu and memory usage are low. This 6/7 megabytes/sec is about the same speed as my notebook with a intel 5300 card. I have set the PS3 to auto and 1000-t full and still same results. I believe the harddrive on the ps3 is 5400rpm.
