Can I get a faster transfer using ethernet for an external HDD?

I have an early 2006 17" imac and am going to get an external HDD for backing up large amounts of photos. FW400 is pretty fast, but I'd was thinking that the gigabit ethernet would could be faster.
Is there a way to use ethernet to connect to an external HD and get faster than FW400 speeds?
thanks.

you could try for FW 800 and get close to 50M/sec
With a fast drive, FW800 is capable of 80 MByte/sec. However, the OP's
iMac doesn't have FW800, only FW400. That's good for 35-40 MByte/sec
sustained read/write speeds.
Even on a 1000 Mbps LAN, a NAS setup won't do much better -- and
most are significantly slower:

  • Can I get around having to use iTunes for my iPad?

    In short, I really dislike the software. It does nothing I want it to do and everything I don't want it to do.
    What can I do to avoid the requirement of gunking up my laptop with the bloatware that is iTunes? Is there any alternative? Jailbreaking is most likely not an option.

    Apple products in general are very locked down and controlled- not entirely safe but one has difficulty getting beyond what the designers want you to be able to do - especially on a tablet or phone where there is little space for competition. Hence the term jail-breaking comes into play. Steve Gibson of Security Now at TWIT.TV said he could hardly wait to get his hands on one of the new iphones to see how long it would take him to get around the fingerprint  "security" feature. But he is an expert. 
    Freedom comes with some risks of wading into deep water, but is available in Surface Pro. And  for the courageous who want control in their own hands with Open Source there are Android tablets, phones. And there are other systems - mostly sold in the UK and China - where one can do whatever one has in mind to do if one is clever enough.. It makes me feel very old but the last products mentioned are often used by the school kids in places like China and the UK. . they become really good programmers.
    Microsoft products are typically designed for business use where people want some level of control, want efficiency to do what they want to do, and are willing to learn a little bit more to be able to do that. Typically speed, flexibility, and compatibility are more important than games, songs or movies. One wants to download customized information from the internet - articles, journals, newspapers and one wants access to the company data, memos, manuals and a way to post email, photos, some compact videos to a few key people (not the world).
    IT people at companies wish to keep things locked down and easier/cheaper to manage so it is always a bit of a struggle to do your own thing. That you are annoyed with the waste of space and lack of control tells me you are either an exec, or will soon be one if you find workarounds. Chances are others are having the same difficulties in your company. Develop a realtionship with the IT people -- if they know you have a need for something they will sometimes help you to get it. So make a little specific list of what you don't like and what gets in your way,  and see what they can do for you.
    Some really good reviews of  available products of most brands, what they will and won't do, can be found through the programs at TWIT.TV.  Tech News Today is a good place to jump in... one can get the programs via streaming or podcasts so one has a choice if a TV connection is not convenient or available. http://twit.tv/
    My personal pet peeve with the newer products is the "gallery view" where everything is tiles and carousels. Ugh. Dizzying at best. I like a list tucked into a small space, I don't mind using a stylus and I really loved my  Axim 5 PDA with the touch screen (now obsolete but dang, it still works if "they" would just upgrade the software to new protocols - LOL). Even Netflix has done away with their wonderful sortable lists and moved over to tiling... Ugh. When I want a movie I want to be able to mine for it fast based on my own criteria, not to have to wade through many screens full of images with little or no info.

  • I am using a timed while loop and am unable to get the loop to run at a speed of less than 1ms (I am currently using the Wait(ms) function). How can I get a faster response?

    I am trying to create a virtual engine within a timed while loop and am unable to get the loop to run at a speed of less than 1ms (I am currently using the Wait(ms) function). This does not however allow realistic engine speeds. How can I overcome this? I have access to a PCI-MIO-16E-4 board.

    Andy,
    Unless you use a real time platform, getting extactly 1 ms loop rate
    (or even less) is impossible. It starts getting troublesome at about
    0.1 Hz for standard operating systems.
    I'd tackle your problem with "if i mod 10 == 0 then sleep 1 ms".
    Of
    course this is jerky by design.

  • Can't get my mail when use the USB Ethernet adapter

    I can't get my mail when use the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. If I use a wireless connection, there is no problem. The LAN which I'm trying to connect is behind a proxy server but the Internet is working 100%.

    Hi ViK,
    This sounds like a question for the network administrator of the location. Without knowing how the proxy is set it's impossible to know what it's blocking (incoming/outgoing). It sounds like it might be filtering the incoming mail server.

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal

  • Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?

    Hi
    After compilation of a java program, it creates a class file.
    After getting class file suppose class file has been deleted.
    Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?
    Thanks in advance.

    get a decompiler and run your class file through it--I'll assume you want the source code back and that you are not trying to recover a missing class file by attempting to use the class file that is missing--if it's missing, then I've not a clue on how to get it back by using what is already missing.
    BTW: many of your compilers have source control--if it does, just restore your missing file.

  • Since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

    since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

    Unfortunately, I have a very similar problem. Since I upgraded to os 5.1 on my new iPhone 4S the reminders screen will not add new reminders or scroll up and down. What's more strange is the screen will still scroll side to side allowing access to the Completed list, and both the Completed list and Date functions work normally so this must be an upgrades glitch.

  • How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services= gui

    Hi Experts,
    How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
    Thanks
    Basu

    Hi,
    You can use the FM - GUI_DOWNLOAD to specify the headers. It can be done in the following manner -
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head, "Structure for header
                 h(10) TYPE c,
                 END OF ty_head.
    DATA: it_head  TYPE TABLE OF ty_head WITH HEADER LINE.
    "Adding header details
    it_head-h = 'Field1'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field2'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field3'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field4'.
    APPEND it_head.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
        filename                        = p_file
       filetype                        = 'ASC'
       write_field_separator           = 'X'
       header                          = '00'  "<= note this
      TABLES
        data_tab                        = it_tab
       fieldnames                      = it_head[] "<= Pass your header table here
    EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS                          = 1.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

    how can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

    Yo Chris. I've been following your answers to different threads and quite frankly, you're very keen in answering everybody regarding this stupidity that Apple has brought upon its customers. Kudos to you. But the problem is, most of the time, in some devices, your solution doesn't work because the NONE option is not there. The same goes for me.
    Meanwhile, I found a temporary workaround for the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    Register a free Apple ID from the iCloud Settings.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Account>Tap Payment Information on the Storage Plan Category.
    Fill in the other boxes and choose "None" on Credit Card Information.
    That's it! Hope I helped those who still couldn't find the "None" Option.
    Must be running IOS 5.0.1 though, else there would be no iCloud.

  • WRT320N Can't get IP Address - only using 1 wired port - no internet access - web setup pages hang

    Just bought Linksys WRT320N to replace Netgear MR814.
    Can't get connected to internet using Linksys WRT320N.  
    Setup:
    ISP:  Cox Communications (Cable)
    Firmware: v1.0.03 build 010 Jul 24, 2009
    1 wired - port 1- to Windows XP SP 3 Dell Desktop
    Setup Attempts:
    1.  Tried to setup using install CD.  Kept erroring out with Error 302: Internal Error. tried this 3 times
    2.  Went through the reset, power down, power up procedures.
    3.  Ping 192.168.1.1 = success
    4.  Connected to 192.168.1.1 via web browser 
    5.  Set MAC Address = computer's MAC address
    6.  Set MTU = Auto (1500).  Also tried Manual 1492
    Was unable to get IP address using IP Address Release and IP Address Renew.  Internet IP Address still = 0.0.0.0
    Note that the web page will always get stuck after perfoming a couple of actions (like after switching between tabs).  Message in bottom of browser is "Wating for http://192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp".  And on the screen the hourglass symbol never goes away.
    Note that the old Netgear router still works fine and I am currently connected to the internet using the Netgear router.   I'd appreciate any help getting the new Linksys router functioning/connecting to the internet/obtaining and IP address.
    Thanks for your help. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't know where I was unclear: you wrote before that you have used the mac address clone function on the WRT to clone the MAC address of the PC. This way the WRT "pretends" to be the PC if you connect the WRT internet port to your modem.
    However, the PC is not the device which you used before to connect to the internet. The PC was not the device which was connected before to the modem. If you connect the PC directly to your modem it won't get an IP address either. It won't have internet.
    The problem is that your ISP only allows you to have a single active internet connection at any given time. If you simply connect a different device with a different MAC address to your modem this other device won't get an IP address. As you have connected the Netgear router to your modem and you have internet then you have to clone the MAC address of your Netgear router. That's the device which is connected to your internet and that's the MAC address for which your ISP has locked your internet connection.
    Thus, one more time: clone the MAC address of the netgear router (the internet or WAN port MAC address) on your Linksys router. Then the Linksys pretends to be the Netgear router and your ISP should accept the Linksys router. The netgear router should have a status page in it's web interface which shows you the correct MAC address to be cloned.
