Time Capsule data transfer speeds

Hi,
I just bought the 1TB Time Capsule. I'm copying 117GB from MacPro to TC which after an extremely slow start 12Mbps is now bouncing around between 80 and 120Mbps. For Gigabit Ethernet (CAT6) these speeds are not impressive. Out of curiosity, what does everyone else see? I've had 2 Macs connected together at 450Mbps so was expecting similar from TC with its "server-grade" hard disk.

You don't need a modem with FIOS, you can just get rid of the VZ router and replace it with your own (you call Verizon to get them to change your connection from COAX, the same thing that goes to your tv, to ethernet from your ONT) but will lose video on demand on your tv  and caller id on tv. If you  want those to stay you can keep the VZ box and play with configurations listed here.
Think you should actually say that without the router you'd lose fios tv completely (it has to be in the network somewhere to provide coax signals), though possibly you could connect a coax cable from the ont directly to 1 tv.

  • Time Capsule Data Transfer

    I have been transferring data from one Time Capsule to another by dragging and dropping over my wireless network. However, it is taking an inordinate amount of time, especially for movies and tv shows. Is there a quicker way to do this. Can I attach one to the other - ethernet (internet only?) or firewire?

    three choices
    wireless N speed will be about 6.5 m/sec
    ethernet cate 5e + will be 11.3 M/sec
    or pull the hard drive out(warranty becomes NG) and copy your data to it. You'll need to reformat it first.

  • Time Capsule inernal transfer speed 100Mbps

    Hi,
    I am currently able to achieve a stable 12.5MB/s = 100Mbps. However my Vista computer has a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet adapter and it is connected to the time capsule using a CAT5e cable which should support 1000Mbps speeds. Why am I unable to achieve higher than 100Mbps on a 1000Mbps adapter? Thank you in advance.
    P.S. I'm aware that 125MB/s = 1000Mbps is unachievable but at least 200Mbps = 25MB/s would make me happy.

    250-270 Mbps with a 5 GHz connection is what I see on the network here.

  • Time Machine Data Transfer - From FireWire Drive to Time Capsule - HELP!

    Time Machine Data Transfer - From FireWire Drive to Time Capsule - HELP!
    I've been searching for weeks for a solution to my problem. Here's the story I've come across since I installed Leopard on Oct. 26, 2007.
    I first installed Leopard on my Early 2006 MacBook and set up Time Machine with a 200GB external FireWire drive. Since then, things have been fine, until Time Machine started deleting the oldest backups. I'm a pack-rat and hated this feeling of losing data. So, I now have a few months worth of backups on my 200GB FireWire drive.
    The Time Capsule is released, I finally talk myself into getting one and transferring my old data from the 200GB drive to my 1TB TC.
    I did some researching through forums about how to move data from one Time Machine drive to another, so I took the concept and wanted to apply it to my Time Capsule. I made a DMG image of my 200GB drive, in order to move the data. I figured if I can make an image, copy it, and open it on the Time Capsule - all will go smoothly - just as some had mentioned they've done with external drives.
    Now, I have a 164GB DMG image of my Time Machine, with no hope in sight of gaining it back. I've tried taking the image, using Disk Utility, and restoring my original 200GB external with the imaged Time Machine data, but whenever I do, I come across error messages.
    In Disk Utility, I've done the following steps:
    * Disk Image is found on Time Capsule
    * I select the 200GB drive and select 'Restore'
    * I drag and drop the Disk Image to the 'Image' field
    * I drag and drop the 200GB drive into the the 'Restore' field
    * Select 'Erase Destination'
    * Select 'Restore'
    * I get the warning message that I'll erase the drive - I proceed
    * I enter my password
    Error message pops up:
    "Restore Failure: Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore."
    I select the image in Disk Utility, then proceed with the following steps:
    * Click on "Image" then down to "Scan Image for Restore"
    * I enter my password
    After hours of waiting, I get another error message:
    "Unable to scan. (Broken pipe)."
    I'm going to see, after transferring the DMG to the Time Capsule, if I can drag-and-drop the files from the Time Capsule drive onto the 200GB hard drive.
    IF anyone has any more suggestions, please let me know!

    32 updates on this Mac since December 2007 - Hardware, software, OS...
    They keep coming at about 6 or 7 a month. Some of them I don't care about, but several are essential. 10.5.3 has been seeded to the testers a couple of times and will probably show up in the next few weeks. Jaguar wasn't worth a d*mn until 10.2.6, Panther about 10.3.4, Tiger about 10.4.4 - I'd say we are ahead or on schedule Too bad I can't get Apple to fix Spaces. I wish they'd focus on what I want but I guess some take more time than others.

  • NI8451 SPI data transfer speed and SCLK setup time adjustment

    I'm using NI USB-8451 SPI bus to do communication. I can not reach the speed of communication 4MHz (NI USB-8451 module advertises speeds up to 12MHz). Actrually the data transfer speed is much slower than 4/8 Mb/s. The 16k*16bit data cost around 800ms while it should be 128ms if the data transfer achieves 4Mhz speed. In the manual there is a SPI timing clock figure like this:
     In the 4Mhz communication case,  the t2 should be 0.25us. I wonder whether the low data transfer speed is due to t1,t3 and t4 since they occupy too much "dead time". If my guess is right, is there any method to reduce the t1,t3 or t4, espetially t3? I know that in the advanced API there is a way to add delay while I did not figure out how to reduce delay(t3).  If my guess is wrong, what is the exactly maximum data transfer speed NI8451 can support? (not the clock rate)
     Thanks for help.

    Hi everyone. Im using the SPI communication with 8451 and Im having the same situation., since the serial flash memory I need to program is big enough, t3 (SCLK Setup time) and other "dead time" which I think is the time when buffer on the 8451 needs to be re-filled those are killing my expectation on the final results. I can't see a way to decrease t3 (~10uSec) and in the same way Im seeing something like buffering up to 100~110 bytes then, a ~1.5mSec delay appears on the signal waveforms. Did somebody have good results trying to avoid this?
    Thank you.

  • How do I transfer time capsul data to external hard drive to free up space?

    How do I transfer time capsule data to external hard drive to free up space?

    The fastest method is straight copy and paste..
    Plug a suitable hard disk into your computer.. format it Mac OS extended journaled (if not already).
    Select the folders/files you want to move.. copy and paste them to the external drive..
    Double check that the files are copied because the next step will delete the files forever.. there is no trash on the TC.
    Delete the files on the TC.
    You can also do a full archive of the TC disk to a USB plugged into it by USB.. it must be formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled. It must be big enough to hold all data on the TC disk.. best idea is to buy the same size or bigger.. so if you use 2TB TC buy a 2TB or bigger external drive.
    In airport utility select archive.
    That will copy everything on the TC disk to the USB drive.. you could then Erase the disk of the TC.. this is super fast if you choose quick erase.. just a few minutes. But the archive will take many hours.. say for 2TB about 12-24hours.. and you cannot use the disk in the TC during that time.

  • Problems with Photoshop performance and data transfer speed on iMac

    Two months ago, I started noticing slow performances using Photoshop (above all using clone stamp tool) on my 27" iMac (late 2012). I did the AHT and I found that 8GB of 32GB RAM were broken.
    I removed them but the problem didn't disappered, I also noticed that data transfer speed (both copy and paste from/to internal HD and from CF card/external HD) was really slow.
    I tried many solutions suggested by Apple support, none of them worked out. At the end, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop: no more problems!!!
    10 days ago, I received a new 8GB RAM module and so I installed it back... suddenly, the problem came back, I tried re-installing again Photoshop but the problem, this time, still persist!
    Does anyone had the same experience? All other CC programs work well (LR, AE, Premiere...)

    yes, it does!
    what seems to be very strange to me is how data trasnfer speed could be affected!
    (just to say, I've already tried reset of SMC and PRAM, I've tried with different accounts and I've also re-installed the OS, next step would be formatting the disk and installing the OS from zero)

  • Very slow network directory listing - but fast data transfer speed once listed?

    Hello,
    I have really tried to sort this myself before opening up to the community, however I have run out of ideas, and hope someone can offer the magic solution I have missed.
    I am currently using the 3.4ghz i7 iMac on a 1GB LAN, running OSX10.7.2 - connecting to a Windows Server 2008 (Running Release 2) over ethernet.
    If i go to a network directory that i haven't recently accessed it can take up to 60 seconds to show the contents of that directory. Once i have accessed that folder, if i come out of it and go back in it will be instant again - but the first time it lists the directory it looks like i have opened an empty folder - which after anything from 10seconds to 1 minute will suddenly show the files that are there.
    Internet connectivity is fast through the network, and file transfers across the LAN are fast. (showing as approx 300mb per second) I can play and edit HD content across the network with no slowdown so I am confident that this issue is not related to the network speed itself, and is more to do with a setting on this mac.
    Symptoms are very similar to this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12245148?messageID=12245148&amp%3b#1224514 8 - however i understand that in OSX Lion - SMB was removed - so i cannot find this file to edit.
    I have tried bypassing additional hubs in the network by wiring direct cables to the switch that is connected to the file server, this made no difference.
    I have also tried disconnecting the ethernet cable, and running over wifi. This fixes the listing problem, but when editing HD content over a network drive, this connection is not fast enough to carry the data without interruption (some projects are linked to up to 900gb of hd video content!)
    Using ethernet, I have tried DHCP, DHCP with manual address, and manual mode. All reproduce this problem. i have tried using the windows workgroup, and tried without it.
    I have also followed this suggestion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2134936?threadID=2134936&tstart=45 and used OpenDNS. this did not fix the issue.
    For argument sake, I have also just tested a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard to see if it was OS related. This reproduces the exact same problem, near instant directory listing on the wifi, a long and arduous wait on ethernet.
    I cannot work out why directory listing is instant over wifi, but not over ethernet on 2 different macs, running 2 different versions of OSX. I also do not understand why if the network is having trouble listing the directories - the data transfer speed is 300mbps when i copy files across the wired network from the file server to the mac.
    Does anyone have any other ideas as to what could be the problem here? We are about to start work on a very large project, where the content we are editing is spread out across around 200 different network folders (different shoots captured over the past 2 years). We really don't have the time to wait 60 seconds each time we need to access one of those directories to look for a file, and I am very close to pulling all my hair out!
    I really look forward to hearing from anyone who can offer any insight.

    If you are suspecting that the Windows update had something to do with your LAN going slow, then try the following:
    1.  Look for updates for your clients LAN NIC driver; or
    2.  Un-install the updates.

  • Internal Disk to Disk Data Transfer Speed Very Slow

    I have a G5 Xserve running Tiger with all updates applied that has recently started experiencing very slow Drive to Drive Data transfer speeds.
    When transferring data from one drive to another ( Internal to Internal, Internal to USB, Internal, Internal to FW, USB to USB or any other combination of the three ) we only are getting about 2GB / hr transfer speeds.
    I initially thought the internal drive was going bad. I tested the drive and found some minor header issues etc... that were able to be repaired so I replace the internal boot drive
    I tested and immediately got the same issue.
    I also tried booting from a FW drive and I got the same issue.
    If I connect to the server over the ethernet network, I get what I would expect to be typical data transfer rates of about 20GB+ / hr. Much higher than the internal rates and I am copying data from the same internal drives so I really don't think the drive is the issue.
    I called AppleCare and discussed the issue with them. They said it sounded like a controller issue so I purchased a replacement MLB from them. After replacing the drive data transfer speeds jumped back to normal for about a day maybe two.
    Now we are back to experiencing slow data transfer speeds internally ( 2GB / hr ) and normal transfer speeds ( 20GB+ / hr ) over the network.
    Any ideas on what might be causing the problem would be appreciated

    As suggested, do check for other I/O load on the spindles. And check for general system load.
    I don't know of a good GUI in-built I/O monitor here (and particularly for Tiger Server), though there is iopending and DTrace and Apple-provided [performance scripts|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1992] with Leopard and Leopard Server. top would show you busy processes.
    Also look for memory errors and memory constraints and check for anything interesting in the contents of the system logs.
    The next spot after the controllers (and it's usually my first "hardware" stop for these sorts of cases, and usually before swapping the motherboard) are the disks that are involved, and whatever widgets are in the PCI slots. Loose cables, bad cables, and spindle-swaps. Yes, disks can sometimes slow down like this, and that's not usually a Good Thing. I know you think this isn't the disks, but that's one of the remaining common hardware factors. And don't presume any SMART disk monitoring has predictive value; SMART can miss a number of these cases.
    (Sometimes you have to use the classic "field service" technique of swapping parts and of shutting down software pieces until the problem goes away. Then work from there.)
    And the other question is around how much time and effort should be spent on this Xserve G5 box; whether you're now in the market for a replacement G5 box or a newer Intel Xserve box as a more cost-effective solution.
    (How current and how reliable is your disk archive?)

  • Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive

    Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive connected to time capsule via usb. (as an precaution just incase time capsule fails)
    Thanks

    Yes, if the USB drive has been previously formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the Disks tab below the icon
    Click Archive
    Allow plenty of time for the copy process to occur. You will not be able to make Time Machine backups from your Mac until the Archive process has completed.

  • My Time Capsule gives good speeds to my MacBook but...

    My Time Capsule gives good speeds to my MacBook but not my PC via ethernet though when plugged in the other Time Capsule, just fine...? I can't figure it out. My speed here is supposed to be 32Mbps and my MacBook gets around that via ethernet (all ports tested) and via WiFi. My desktop is a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (hosts all my iTunes) and it gets via ethernet 1.1Mbps if it can even connect to the site. So when I tried my friends Time Capsule, everything is prefectly fine for the PC. Cannot figure it out at all. Any help or tips to try to narrow down the problem would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Open the network settings on the PC.. is it connecting at gigabit?
    Via ethernet you should be running much faster than 30mbps.. that is ok for wireless not ethernet.
    1mbps on PC indicates a real issue.
    Open the admin tools and check networking for errors.. if there are any errors at all something is wrong.
    Turn off ipv6 as that does sometimes also cause issues.
    I have multiple pc and Mac connected without issues.. so I think there is some setting issue going on.

  • NSS2000 - Data transfer speeds over gigabit ethernet

    I've just installed a NSS2000 on a gigabit network.  I'm aware that some of the promised features (like support for jumbo frames) are not currently supported by the current firmware (version 1.13).
    However, even without jumbo frames, I'm puzzled of why I am seeing data transfer speeds of only 50megabits per second, or about 5% utilization of the 1000Mb/s connection.  I was expecting at least 20% utilization.
    Is this another limitation of the current firmware version, or is there a setting somewhere on the NSS2000 which I need to to tweak to increase data transfer speeds?
    More background - it is the only significant traffic on the network during test, the ethernet controller driver on my PC is the latest available, and the NSS reports that it is connected at 1000MB/sec.  The unit has two 1.5Tb SATA drives in it, which are configuered as RAID1.
    Also - does anyone know when the next firmware version is going to be available, and which of the current known issues it is likely to address?
    thanks
    Graham

    I should mention that the volume I am writing to is encrypted - is the answer simply that this is the fastest that the onboard CPU can decrypt the content?
    An experiment to an unencrypted volume increased the LAN utilization to around 10% - so an improvement, but still not as high as I had hoped.
    thanks

  • More Time Capsule / Airport Extreme Speed Issues

    I have noticed a few of these post and also need assistance on this.
    My setup is:
    Brand New Dual Band Time Capsule
    Brand New N Band Airport Express
    Older G Airport Express
    The time capsule is set up as the router, N Band Airport Express is used to extend the network. The older G band express is connected to the network for music streaming but not to extend it.
    We have three computers, iMac with G band airport card, Macbook and a new MacBook Air.
    When we are in the range of the time capsule the internet speed is great. Download speed > 5 mps or more.
    When we are in the range of the Airport Express the internet speed is terrible and unuseable ~ < .5 mps
    I have tried changing the channel settings for the G and N bands on the router with no change in performance. I have disconnected the cordless phones (DECT type) and no change.
    Suggestions are greatly appreciated. If this does not work can someone recommend another router which works with our Macs that I can extend.
    Thanks

    With your networking equipment, I would suggest the following for best overall bandwidth performance for both radios:
    o Reconfigure the Time Capsule (TC) to use the following radio mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz) - 802.11b/g/n
    o Configure the TC to use a separate Network Name for the 5 GHz radio.
    o Configure the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to extend the TC's 2.4 GHz radio.
    o Configure the 802.11g AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to join the 2.4 GHz network.

  • Using Time Capsule to transfer data to a new machine

    I have just taken possession of a new iMac. I need to transfer the data from my old one and wondered if Time Capsule was the most efficient way of doing this.
    I understand that there is a transfer utility built into the Mac OS which allows you to transfer data from one machine to another via Firewire, but it occurred to me that my Time Machine might provide a quicker and easier way of doing it.
    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I would go with FireWire. Boot the old Mac into "target disk mode" by holding down the "T" key while it is booting. Then connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable and launch the Migration Assistant utility.
    If your Time Machine backup is on your network (rather than being directly connected), transferring the data from the other computer over FireWire is probably going to be a lot faster.
