I am doing a crashplan local backup(both boxes have 1 gig cards and connected by a 1 gig swtich). I believe my crashplan is the bottleneck . But every measurement I take is in a different unit of measure and is a bit confusing.
Here is my issue. I am using Crashplan and the box to box copy speed as listed in crashplan is 85 Mbps. based on how long it should and the usage percentage on the nics this seems really slow.. The nics show about 10% usage so the Crashplan speed quote seems to match up with what is going over the network.
When i do a straight copy I was hitting 900+ mbps which is in the range of 10 times what crashplan is pushing. . I assume me approaching the 1000 mbps is me maxing the nic? Is this math correct.
A SATA harddrives 3 GB/s is theoretically triple the max of a 1 gig nic? Is that the right units of measure?
I did test my harddrives with HDTune and it was in a differnt unit of measure. My SSDs were a bit fasater by my regular drives were hitting the 120-150 MB/s speed. Is that the equivalent of the harddrive being able to do a bit more then maxing the 1 gig nic or if my unit of measure totally off?
What I appear to be seeing is that Crashplan is copying at ~1/10th of what I could get with a direct copy and crashplan not the hard drive or network are the bottle neck. Is that reasonable?
