Well, that is over a network, which has nothing to do with SCSI, IDE, or parallel ports... the network is the bottleneck instead of the interface.
Benchmark your network in windows.. it'll probably be less than 10mbit -- around 600 or 700kb/s.. Besides... you were using windows, and windows (from my experiance) can't handle large amounts of network traffic. Over FTP I've only be able to get windows downloading at 450kb/s, while linux could get over 600kb/s from the same internet site (I have a 10mbit cable modem connection). -Paul On Tue, 9 Jun 1998, Hamish Moffatt wrote: > On Mon, Jun 08, 1998 at 08:43:44PM -0400, Paul Miller wrote: > > > BTW they seem very suceptible to IO bandwidth.. a few things: > > > 1) never burn files that are not stored on a local drive > > > 2) put the writer on its own IDE controller, it should not share > > > a controller with another drive that is being used > > > 3) SCSI is better than IDE :) > > > > If the drive has a 1MB or 2MB buffer and is only writing at 2X or 4X, why > > does it matter how fast the interface is?
