WHAT ARE OPTIMUM DATA THROUGHPUT SPEEDS
FOR
DIFFERENT NETWORK INTERFACES?
Depending on the network interface your computer uses, you will experience different rates of
data transfer to your server. Network Interfaces are described in terms of their ideal maximum
speed, but many factors can affect the actual data transfer speeds you will experience. For
example, your optimal wireless transfer speed will be reduced depending on the type of security
and encryption you have enabled on your wireless network and by the amount of other work your
computer and server are performing at the same time.
What are optimum data throughput speeds for different network
interfaces?
• Gigabit Ethernet - 1000mbps/125MBs
• Fast Ethernet - 100mbps/12.5MBs
• Wireless N - 600mbps/75MBs
• Wireless G - 54mbps/6.75MBs
• Wireless A -54mbps/6.75MBs
• Wireless B - 11mbps/1.375MBs
What is the ideal minimum time to transfer a 1GB file for
different network interfaces?
• Gigabit Ethernet - 8s
• Fast Ethernet - 1min 20s
• Wireless N -13.3s
• Wireless G - 2min 28s
• Wireless A - 2min 28s
• Wireless B -12min 7s
THE FIRST BACKUP IS TAKING A LONG TIME
Your initial PC backup could take several hours, depending on how much data you have on your
computer. Subsequent backups will go much faster since only the data that has changed is copied
to the server.
