Actually, my 100BT xfers at roughly 10x the speed as my previous 10BT
setup. The only thing that has changed is the switch.
100BT is, at best, 8.5 - 9MB a second, after overhead associated with
TCP/IP are taken into consideration. I don't know of a modern hard drive
that can't keep up with that, even the relatively slow drives in laptops
can keep up no problem.

Well, it all depends on the hardware you're using. If you have a slow HD
+
processor you won't be able to take full advantage of the 100 BaseT.
But, yes, it's not 10x faster (if it were 10x faster it'd be as fast as
a
*fast* HD). It's damned fast compared to 10 BaseT though. What took me 1
hr
to back up through a 10 BaseT, took only 10 minutes to restore with a
cross-over cable between two iMacs.
Eric.
