Normal TC Transfer rate?

Lately I've been getting an average transfer rate of 1 MB/s on the Time Capsule
It maxes out at 3 MB/s using wireless 802.11n 5 GHz, is this normal?
I saw a chart on here: http://images.appleinsider.com/exploring-tc-part2-1.gif
Which says I should get AT LEAST 9 MB/s in reasonable conditions
But it still only stays at 1-2 MB/s when I'm directly next to the Time Capsule without any interference
So any information about the actual speeds of an average TC?

Assuming you have your network hard ware connected correctly and have no interference either hard ware or software setup then Cat 6 ethernet wired you should get 11.76 M/sec and wireless at 5 GHZ N speed about 10 M/sec
Your speeds described suggest to me a poor network set up and configuration. Interference can give that low rate also even with a good hard ware or software set up. Location and obstruction then come into play.
I have been all over the above scenario multiple times to duplicate my own poor transfer rates. I have my network optimized through experimenting with the network placement, hardware and configuration.

How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
Thank you!

Extremely slow transfer rate from iOmega eGo to iMac

I am using a brand new 27" iMac and an iOmega eGo 2TB hard drive (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374133,00.asp). The drive has it's own power source and is connected to my computer via USB.
I'm trying to transfer files from the hard drive to my new iMac and the transfer rate is painfully slow. They are files from my old MacBook which I sold last week.
When the disc is not mounted, it seems to function normally - it's blue indicator light is consistently on and it sounds right. However, when I mount the disc and begin using it - in this instance to transfer files, it goes extremely slow. The blue light will mostly remain off, then interminnently flash on and onscreen a small amount of data will move.
Through disk utility I was able to successfully verify and repair the disc, but it's still behaving this way. Can anyone help? SOS!

Disk data transfer rate - iMac 2013

Good morning Apple fellows
First of all, sorry for my troubled English speaking, I'll do my best to explain the issue I'm having in the best way possible.
Yesterday I finally received my new iMac (I'm a proud Apple user since 2006), the machine has these specifications: 16 GB Ram, i7 processor, nVidia GT 780M, and a SSD drive of 1TB of capacity.
Under Mavericks everything runs smooth and fine, no issues at all, just perfect, the fastest machine I've ever had. Unfortunately, I had to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (I'm a mechanical engineer and I use Autodesk Inventor to do my stuff).
After completing the installation of the Microsoft OS, I instantly noticed some laggy performance while running Windows: I installed as asked all the Bootcamp drivers with the USB pendrive that I prepared, but both the startup of the system and the normal use were a bit slow, even slower than my old '09 iMac.
In order to understand what the problem was, I ran the system performance test included in Windows: all the ratings I have are maxed out at 7.9 (7.9 is the top I think), in exception of the "Disk Data Transfer Rate", that is 5.9. As far as I remember, this value is typical for a mechanical disk drive, not for an SSD drive supported with PCIe connections.
Does anybody here got a similar issue? Is there any driver package that I have to install in addition to the Bootcamp drivers?
Thanks in advance

That is because the WEI uses your boot disk as the default device to measure performance, and, for instance, a Velociraptor 10 K disk, does not score more than 5.9. The story changes when the test is run on other disks, like my array:
However, this measurement is totally worthless in real life. You should look at practical benchmarks like PPBM5 Benchmark

Solaris 10 u5 Samba slow transfer rates?

Hi!
I've installed Solaris 10 x86 (Core2Duo - x64) server, with Samba over ZFS RAID-Z. Samba is a part of Active Directory Domain. I've managed to join it to domain, to get the users and groups from A.D. and to translate them to Unix IDs. Everything works really good. Samba is installed from the packages from Solaris 10 DVD.
Only problem I have is the performance :( It's disastrous!
On 100Mbit Realtek NIC, Samba can manage around 4 MB/s if log level is set to very high (10). If I lower it to 0, then transfer rates go up to 7.5-8.5MB/s and they fluctuate in that interval.
On the same network, there is a Debian Samba server, and transfer rates go high as 10.5-11.0MB/s.
Next test I did was switching to Gbit interface. That increased transfer rates up to 25 MB/s, but that is still 5 times slower than the theoretical limit.
So, next thing I've tried was to switch to Blastwave (CSW) Samba instead of SUNW Samba.... My transfer rates went back to normal immediately! It was a bit of shock for me... I could transfer about 10MB/s on 100Mbit interface, and around 45MB/s on 1Gbit interface. 45MB/s is theoretically limit of the workstation hard drive I was doing transfers from.
Sun packaged (SUNW) Samba is 3.0.28 patched today to the latest patchlevel, and CSW uses 3.0.23. I used CSW Samba with the exact same smb.conf file. Only problem is - I never managed to connect CSW samba to ADS on my network :( So I gave up on that, and I'm facing a dilemma. Managers request full speed of the Samba server (comparable to Linux/Windows shares), but I just can't connect to Domain with CSW package.
So I'm asking you guys - any ideas what could be the problem with SUNW Samba and performance? Is it just the 3.0.28 vs 3.0.23 issue, or what? Why is there so big difference in transfer rates? :(
Please help!

OK, here goes my smb.conf:

plz someone who ever experience or know the solution help me
thank you very much before

Hi,
Have you installed ALL the drivers before you made any tests?
You might also want to Clear the BIOS (Copied from Troubleshooting Guide V1.0 as I couldn't find the link for just clearing the Bios):
Quote
Clearing the CMOS chip
Disconnect the system power cord and push the case power button to drain all remaining power in the psu for approximately 15 seconds
Then move jumper jbat1 and wait 10 seconds and move it back to the original position. You should ensure that the jumper has metal inside of it when removed, sometimes (rarely) they don't. This process resets or clears the CMOS chip and is shown in most motherboard manuals.Now connect the power cord and restart your system.
Some motherboards require that the battery must be removed for 20 minutes before putting the battery and jbat1 back for the CMOS chip to be cleared.

Incredibly slow firewire transfer rate

Hi fellas
my firewire drive (formatted ext3) has an incredibly slow 2MB/s transfer rate?
Is this normal? Anything I can do about it?
Cippa Lippa

I have a FireWire 400 HD, it has a JMicron chipset (pretty generic but works great). I worked wonderfully on Leopard without a single glitch ever.
Now, after upgrading to SL, I experience the same as you and the drive is not responding well, hanging constantly and experiencing really slow transfer rates, that make it unusable (all applications that try to open something from it eventually hang). It's not a temporary glitch, even after several reboots and connecting/disconnecting the drive. The same drive under USB2 (it also has USB2 interface) works perfect (but I really want my firewire back).
I hope Apple fixes it! Definitely a bug.

WRT54Gx2 with GX400 wireless card, what type of wireless transfer rates you guys getting?

is this normal or really slow?
with the router in the same room or 3 rooms away with full signal.
i am tranfering a 100MB file, it usually takes me around 60 seconds to transfer it each way. thats around 15Mbps correct?
if so why is it so slow when 1 its should transfer around 54Mb and the laptop wireless status saying its connected at 108Mbps.
how do i speed this thing up or do i have a bad unit?

Hi , when you are connected to a 100Mbps network, you do not in effect get pure 100Mbps transfer rates.....the like will give you more of an idea .... http://kb.iu.edu/data/aeud.html

Hanging iMac, slow transfer rates

Hello,
I'm experiencing two problems with my iMac which I think are probably linked as they began around the same time. I've scoured these forums and several other websites for answers but I haven't found many people whose problems sound exactly like mine.
My iMac was running Tiger up until around a year and a half ago. I then upgraded to Leopard without any issues, and everything ran smoothly. About a year ago I began to experience some strange behaviour - Flash would repeatedly crash, my mouse seemed unresponsive, and the system began to hang as though it was having trouble processing things. I reinstalled Leopard and things seemed ok, though the hanging remained (at this stage it was just the umbrella spinning and things taking longer to load). I upgraded to Snow Leopard hoping this would fix the issue when it came out and things got incredibly bad. Starting up and loading to the desktop took upwards of twenty minutes!! Doing ANYTHING seemed to be a massive strain on the system. I'd literally have to spend an hour or so monitoring it just to check my email and shut down in the correct way. Additionally the USB transfer speed, and download speed, had dropped to the point where a 20mb file had an estimated time of 2 hours to or transfer from my external hard drive. Internet downloads were similar.
After as many tests as I could manage I thought it might be RAM related, and upgraded to 3gig. It had no noticeable effect. Recently, whilst trying to solve the problem, I gritted my teeth and backed everything up. I wiped the system entirely, and tried a clean install of Leopard (the last functioning OS I had). It worked, in so far as the catastrophically slow behaviour stopped, but I'm STILL left with the slow transfer speeds, and the hanging. I've since re-upgraded to Snow Leopard, and this time it functions in the exact same way as Leopard.
To describe the problem in detail: Every few seconds - the time between varies from 2s - a minute - the system stops responding for a seemingly arbitrary amount of time. Often the umbrella appears. However, when it appears frozen the dock usually responds without any issues (though is entirely impotent as I can't open anything, including Finder) and if I'm typing then when it returns to my control anything I typed will usually appear. My USB transfer rates remain, even when there's no issue, extremely low. Same with downloads. The most bizarre thing for me is that during the times the system is responding (during which is can often manage multiple tasks without any complaint) it moves and respons in an incredibly speedy, efficient way - as though the RAM upgrade has really helped.
I've tried repairing disk permissions, checking activity monitor to see what may be a strain on the system (everything looks entirely normal), I've run several diagnostics (including tests on the new RAM and the old RAM and on the external hard drives), defragged, turned out absolutely EVERYTHING unnecessary... Nothing I do seems to have any effect on this behaviour! Does anyone have ANY ideas? It's going to be a real pain to get it to an Apple store.
Edit: The reinstallation of an OS, or wiping of the hard drive took between 18 and 24 hours a time, despite it usually showing a countdown from 30 minutes the whole time.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Have you tried booting from the Snow Leopard disk, running Disk Utility and checking the startup disk for errors? If not...
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
If the startup disk appears to be ok and there's enough free disk space, try running the Apple Hardware Test
If the AHT doesn't report any problems...
experience some strange behaviour - Flash would repeatedly crash
Try uninstalling the reinstalling a new copy of flash then repair disk permissions.
Uninstall Flash

Slow Transfer Rate Between iTunes and iPhone 3GS

Hi,
My iTunes recently failed to recognise my iPhone 3GS and suggested a restore followed by a back up.
I followed the steps and after a short while it started to transfer from iTunes library back onto my iPhone. However, the rate of song transfer appears to be very slow. 3,000 songs in 10 hours, there is still 1,800 to go.
Is there anything I can check to speed to process up, I don't remember it being this slow when I first got the iPhone?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem with very slow transfer and it's even more mystifying.
I got a 3GS a while ago and always very impressed by its transfer rates (300mb video file syncs in about 30 seconds). My partner also got a 3GS last week, but I noticed when setting it up that it was very slow (did some tests - the same 300mb file takes about 6 minutes to transfer). Since I was syncing to the same itunes library, on the same computer, using the same cables, I assumed it was something wrong with the new phone. Tried restore couple of times but no change, so I took it to the local genius bar who checked it, couldn't find anything wrong with it and swapped it out.
The only thing they suggested that I hadn't tried was reinstall iTunes - never occurred to me as my original phone still syncs at normal speed. So I've now reinstalled iTunes, (having deleted the new phone's backups) plugged in the new phone and asked it to sync using my original (fast phone) back up, but it still runs at the slow transfer rate even though this is a new phone! Tried restore again and still no change.
This is very frustrating. My original phone still syncs very fast. Getting the phone swapped means that it is unlikely to be a hardware fault with the new phone but it seems no matter what I do (delete the new phone's backups, sync to my normal phone's backup, install as a new phone, reinstall itunes) it still transfers at about 1/12 the speed of my original.
I'm completely stumped and would welcome any suggestions as to what I could try next.

Usb transfer rate decay drastically

hi to everybody,
i have a problem:
when i transfer to an usb, transfer rate decay drastically
tested with USB flash and microSD card with its adaptor; with Mac OS i reach the maximum, for example 10MB/s, and the transfer rate remains constant; if i use arch, it reach the maximum but after some time decay to 2 MB/s.....
is normal ??? anybody have this issue ???

Much has been posted in many distros concerning the USB flash problem.
A tutorial regarding the design of Flash devices reveals the basic problem with Flash in general.
It is designed to perform in u know what..windows. The design sets up Flash in FAT32 and lo and behold it runs best in windows!
Trying to get the industry to design specially for Linux is like trying to get a donkey to move.
There seems to be workarounds for various applied "imbedded" flash for elements of the Linux system such as usr and etc wherein reads and writes are minimal.
Cheaper Flash devices vary widely in performance due to algorithms provided or not.
Flashbench and bonnie++ are programs which provide analysis of Flash devices to determine performance of the devices under various modes. Many of the devices thusly analyzed are listed on the internet for users to examine...Linaro seems to be the main activity for such reports.
One recommend for Linux is to use ext4 and have at least 8GB of memory available..therefore 64bit. There probably are reasons for not going that route for some (including the cost).
Raid is also recommended.
The picture is indeed clouded and has been for years.
Perhaps a way to use FAT in Linux will come along but don't hold your breath!

File transfer rate under 10.4.8

Hi,
I am getting a transfer rate of about 8-9MB per sec between MacMini (Core Duo) and MBP using AFP. The Macs are directly connected using Cat 5E cable, and both are set to 1000bit/sec under Networking. Jumbo frame is used.
Both are running 10.4.8, with the latest patches.
It seems that 8-9MB/s is very low when compared to other posts within discussions.apple.com, that, it is typical to get 40-45MB/s under gigabit Ethernet.
Any comments, and results from the same set up?

Thx for your comments.
I've set up a RAM disk in each Mac, and tried copying a 450MB file between them.
Viola! The transfer rate is now ~25MB/s!!! Still ~50% of the *normal* rate, but it is much improved.
OK, the 8-9MB/s rate is the read and write limit of the HD in the Mini. My MBP has a 7200RPM drive, and should not be the bottleneck.
Thx all!

Low transfer rate with NAT/Duplex/Speed settings

Hi all, I'm having this problem and I cannot find any bug or TAC case in the collection. I'm using PAT between two ethernet interfaces on a c3745 or c3845(I tried both in a lab).
If I keep the duplex and speed negociation to auto, everything works fine and it autonegotiates to full/100, but as soon as I force the duplex to full and speed to 100, the transfer rate of my FTP drops considerably. When I change the speed back to auto everything goes back to normal. I've tried the latest IOS but the problem persist.
Anyone experienced the same problem? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mariano

Fixing speed and duplex must be done on both sides. If one end remains in auto-mode the connection will default to half duplex.
This will result in a duplex mismatch between the devices.

T530 - Insanely Slow SD card transfer rate

I'm curious if anyone knows why I might be experiencing insanely slow transfer rates from a particular 8GB Transcend SDHC 6 card? If I click on details while it is reading from the card, it will say 'Calculating...' forever. It will take like 5 minutes to transfer 3 - 1MB files. There are less than 200 pictures/videos on the card. The weird thing is that accessing the same card from my old laptop and my wife's laptop works perfectly fine.
And if I take my 16GB Micro SDHC card from my cell phone and put it into an SD card adapter and put that into the SD slot on my T530, no issues, it transfers files at normal speeds?! So it doesn't seem like the reader is bad, it just doesn't like that one card.
Any ideas?

Hi there dudeman,
Are all the card reader drivers up to date?
One of the drivers for the T530 listed here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT073832 was recent, from August, under Camera and Card Reader. This may not solve your issue but I just wanted to suggest installing the latest drivers if you haven't already.

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

Normal TC Transfer rate?
