**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 19 02:59:57 2009 Jul 19 06:05:18 hi guys Jul 19 06:05:27 im curious as to why network transfer is so slow? Jul 19 06:05:46 wd mybook world hard drives have about a 300mhz arm cpu in them Jul 19 06:05:58 and they manage to do half the speed of the sheevaplug Jul 19 06:06:33 i assume it is because the mybooks have sata or ide connection to the drives Jul 19 06:06:39 but does usb really have that much overhead? Jul 19 06:09:36 depends on the chipset in your usb drive device as well Jul 19 06:10:22 I jsut got my sheeva plug booting off of a hardrive in a usb enclosure. I need to run some bencmarks Jul 19 06:10:52 I think the Macally enclusre I am using uses an oxford chipset Jul 19 06:11:58 also depends on how the driver/kernel code optimized/tweaked **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 20 02:59:57 2009
