Dirk_D 0 Posted June 24, 2014 so I connected to my server from a HTPC, moved 6 movies from one hard drive to another (both SATA, both on the same machine), and I've noticed that the max throughput I seem to get is around 40 MB/second, with this many movies transferring at the same time they ranged from >20MB/sec to 5MB/sec. So I remoted into the server, moved about the same amount, but was getting 150MB/sec. I was doing cut/paste sitting at the HTPC, and since it was taking so long I thought I'd stream a movie from Netflix....... "not taking up any of this PC's bandwidth" I thought... WRONG! The bandwidth to my HTPC was being consumed moving this data. This server is running WHS2011, the OS on my HTPC is win7pro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted June 24, 2014 Yup, when you remote to a machine the packets still flow thru that machine you are using... sort of. it is not the fulll load as if you were moving the files there, but it does take resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
