I wouldn't have posted without having ACTUAL experience.
And having actually measured it, I did find it faster.
Not in direct one-to-one traffic, but in one-to-one traffic while OTHER
traffic was also traversing the switch. As in, file transfers from one PC
to another while two Tivo units were also transferring programs. THAT's
where moving from a 100BaseT switch to a gigE switch made some degree of
difference. This was before also upgrading the network cards in the PCs to
gigE as well. That made the PC transfers even quicker, as one would
expect. But without slowing down the Tivo MRV transfers (as those are slow
due to the use of USB and the software on the Tivos).
So actually test something before shooting off your mouth, jackass. |
