Here is an old post of mine from dealmac:
"After removing a low speed cable from my network, both of my computers are recognized by my gigabit switch as supporting gigabit ethernet (thanks to The Grim Ninja and JfM).
The only problem I have is that going from 100Base-T to gigabit is that my transfer speeds have gone from 11.5MB/s to 27MB/s which while that is good it is still WAY below the theoretical transfer speed of 125MB/s. With 100Base-T I was getting 11.5MB/s out of a theoretical limit of 12.5MB/s or 92% of theoretical. With gigabit I am getting 27MB/s out of a theoretical limit of 125MB/s or 21.6% of theoretical. Why the huge dip in performance? Does anybody know?
What kind of transfer speeds are others with gigabit ethernet getting?
TIA"
The 4200 rpm hard drive in my PowerBook was limiting my data transfer speeds.
