Question

Fast copy software for internal network traffics

Urgently required

Hello

Urgently for business ... looking for the most fastest software for data copy or data transfer in internal network between computers in the same network

I've goggled and found TeraCopy and RichCopy to be the most fastest tools around

When I test both of them I've found it is maximum 9:10 MB/second ... which is really slow for our needs

Please advise for a tool free or paid that could be as fast as possible?

Note: lan is about 20 node ... and daily data traffics in between is about 150:200 GB/day ... Yes we do work in that volume in a daily base ... so please advise for a suitable one?

Also all computers running windows 7 and XP

why so many switches. we showed 1 large one for 100, you just spent 180 for something that could have been had for 100, unless you need those switches in different areas....

onboard is just fine. buffer size I wouldn't worry too much about that, I would worry about if it supports jumbo frames and if the cards support jumbo frames (again useless if only one supports not the other, all have to support). Jumbo Frames could squeeze out some more bandwidth.

It was not my decision to buy them but it is my other co-worker as he was in the mall while we were discussing it here.

He has been advised by the guy in the mall to get them, and it was late to reach him I am afraid :( , but prices in local markets are not the same as newegg website but more cheap.

No, all are in one place, so now shall I continue using these switches and bridging each two switches to become a bigger one or still 0ne with 16 ports is far better?

Please I want to know if you mean it is the same performance as the performance of the pci cards or not?

Why? isn't not important?

Please I am still do not understand this Jumbo Frames thing correctly, please may you explain it more?

=> one last thing, regarding comparing brands, if I am comparing the same features for different brands, does it matter? or all are the same? cisco, d-link, tp-link?

Thanks a lot and too much appreciated.

Lets start with this, transferring on a single switch would be faster. When you start daisy chaining (what you are doing by plugging one switch into another) you are creating a potential bottleneck. A good switch will transfer to each port a 1Gb/s, if you are transferring multiple gigs from switch1 to multiple gigs on switch 2 the link between switch one and switch two will be the bottleneck and your transfers will suffer and be cut in half. You loose the ability to transfer 1Gb/s to each port, and it becomes halfed or even less. This is why 1 switch is better.

I have not noticed any gain with going with a PCI nic when doing file transfers.

Well it is sort of important, but not really. You are doing copies, it would help more if you had a ton of devices making different requests. Your goal is to transfer data, not going to see much benefit with buffer size.

Basically the largest transmit unit or MTU most devices and switches can transfer at is 1500. Anything above 1500 is considered a jumbo frame. Frames close less times per large file transfer when you use Jumbo Frames. You can get a bit more speed out of the line if you use Jumbo Frames. This may help a little: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/03/the-promise-and-peril-of-jumbo-frames.html

You want to compare features of different switches, brands really don't matter much.

...

Normally ethernet frames are 1500 bytes long, (That includes headers and such), jumbo frames allow you to increase the side of the frames, decreasing the amount of headers sent.

Both my gigabit switches support 9KB jumbo frames (so I can send around 9KB of data per header instead of around 1KB), my PC also supports it (but disabled by default) and my Mac makes no mention to whether it's supported or not.

Edit: After messing around with settings and testing it, all the devices on my network support jumbo frames, so my systems can now pass around 9KB of data in a single Ethernet frame. It seems faster, but I need to do actual testing.

Please I would like to ask if using ftp will be any good to do the transfer after done the hardware upgrade to gigabit:

ftp server in the boxes I am copying from.

ftp client to the boxes I am copying to.

and does file zilla considered a good option or there is a better software?

  • 0

don't use ftp you will be just fine with windows transfer esp with jumbo frames...once the copy starts ftp would be near useless anyway. you won't gain much at all from ftp.

I don't want to come off like an ASS, but perhaps the OP needs to actually hire a network engineer. It sounds like you don't have a clue about this stuff, don't understand networking, OS's Protocols, etc. I'm all for people learning, but you don't understand the basics, if you really need this for a business, you should hire someone who knows this stuff to set things up for you to fulfill your business need.

Ok, thanks

Another point: I've found a Jumpo frame option in the network adapter setting from device manager for the motherboard gigabyte built-in network in the motherboard.

But for the one in the Dell OptiPlex GB620, I did not found and mention for the Jumpo Frame. so in such a case the network pci card we had may include this option or not?

You are right about us, but wee found it a bit expensive to hire an engineer so we are do it ourselves the hardway.

Also we almost there and about to finish the network setup (thanks for all of you guys).

Don't use jumbo frames.

That's just adding more pain to this than you need. The jumbo frames will make a minute difference at best. Just run with what you have.

Gigabit networking will likely bring your speed up to ~100MBps. At this point, as Budman observed, you are more likely to be capped by your computers hardware than the network.

Just set it up, stop thinking about it so much and just do it.. This is a basic thing.

EXACTLY - talk about mulling over every insignificant detail there is ! --

2 switches or 1 ? WOW - by using 1 you saved yourself an entire .00000001 seconds !

Dont need to be a network guru to understand things like that.

If you get near 100MB/sec - you are moving files unbelievably fast over ethernet - even if it peaks @ 70MB - be happy & dont sweat pointless details that will only show a benefit if you did it 24/7 over the next 10 years.

Curious, what kind of business is this ?

Ok, Thanks a lot for you and for all other good people input in this thread, really saved us a lot of money indeed for a consultant.

I am sorry, but please, do you say that as an example to clear your idea to do not worry about details?

Or you mean for real that using two switches and bridge both of them will almost make no differences?

Thanks for this tip and sorry if I am asking silly or stupid question ... please be patient :)

This is not accurate. This would depend on how many computers are being copied from and to. You can bottleneck on the uplinks between switches. It shouldn't take a math genius to figure out that you can't pull 2 or more through something that is only capable of 1. And the 1 will get divided by the computers trying to pull data through it, 2 computers pulling will only get 500mb, 3 pulling 333mb and so on. But if all of the computers are on the same switch they can maintain 1Gb/s between all of them, they aren't sharing a 1Gb connection.

Make sense now? He needs it for massive file transfers not connecting pcs to a network that will browse the internet and pull small docs from a server. He needs all available bandwidth, but if he is only copying to 1 computer it is a moot point.

OP, can you walk us through how you copy? Do you do one machine at a time or multiple?

And how do you copy? Are you "moving" the file to another computer, or do you copy it from the recording computer to the editing computer, leaving the original on the recorder.

So far I was using the copy software tera copy and winmend software ...

  On 31/03/2012 at 15:45, cybertimber2008 said:

Yes it is a one file from a one machine in a time, as I open the copy software and drag and drop the file from various network computers and place them all in queue then it is copying one by one ... so no parallel transfer under any circumstances as I read that multi transfer increase the time 0f transferring.

Yes exactly this is what I am doing ... then after finishing the transfer I do delete the file from the recording machine (using remote desktop) then do a restart or a shut down, and setup ccleaner to run when computer start to clean everything to save space on the hard drive as each computer from the recording machine using a 80 gb hard drive and make it on big partition as making two r three partitions will lose a lot of space.

But please let me ask if moving the files is any better instead of copying, but I use the copy way in case anything wrong happened during the move process.

I've just come back from the mall now and bought this switch:

D-Link 16-Port Gigabit Switch DGS-1016D:

http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=337

And will use another cisco one I mentioned earlier ... so we will have two small network, and two adsl routers ... that is all I think :)

And got two kind of cables to try and test:

- Patch cord cat 6 premium line

- Patch cable cat6 blue molded intellinet

Both are 5 m length but premium line is more expensive then intellinet (I do not know of any given reason and the guy in the mall did not know as well, so if any one can advise for this regard that would be awesome).

Also for short cables (10 m maximum) will it make any differ in my case for performance? or almost all cables are the same?

Thanks a lot and too much appreciated :)

  • 0

Cat 6 is not needed unless you're going 100m or more in length. A good Cat5E-cable will work.

Connect everything, see if every computer goes in Gigabit mode (you can see that in the network properties in Windows, status of the adapter states the link speed). If all computers are in Gigabit mode, you're ready to go. You shouldn't even have to replace cables. Just first replace the slow switch(es) with the new one, and see if it works. It probably will.

More expensive cables will not give you faster transfer speeds. As long as the link speed is Gigabit, you're always fine. Always.

My 2c, the switch will be fine. Forget the premium cables... just return those.

As far as Cat5/5E/6... use 5E if you already have it... if not, use 6 (forward compatibility, a little more robust, little less interference, yadda yadda)

I am afraid that after using the 1 gb it is still not fast and only 38 mb/s maximum:

Please advise what shall I do now and which settings I should tweak or adjust.

Transfer done exactly in 07:34 minutes for a file sized = 16 gb

    • Windows 11 gets resizable taskbar icons, PC Migration tool, and more in KB5060829 by Taras Buria Windows 11 24H2 users, it is time for this month's non-security update. KB5060829 is here, and it has some long-requested taskbar updates, a new tool for transferring files between PCs, and a hefty list of other improvements. With KB5060829, build number 26100.4484, Microsoft is finally delivering the long-requested small taskbar icons, one of the missing Windows 10 taskbar features. However, with Windows 11, Microsoft gives users more flexibility: you can have your taskbar as is, make icons smaller as the taskbar gets full, or keep icons small all the time. Neat! Additionally, a new PC Migration app is available, which enables transferring files from one PC to another during the initial setup. However, in a somewhat confusing move, all users receive only the landing page and the pairing page. The actual capability is coming in a future update. Other changes include performance improvements in File Explorer for handling large archives, fixes for display flashing, new accessibility features, and more. Here is the complete changelog (gradual rollout): [App defaults] New! We are rolling out some small changes in the European Economic Area (EEA) region for default browsers through the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps: Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them. The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes. There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type. [Click to Do (Preview)] New! Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot is a new action in Click to Do on Copilot+ PCs. Use it to send text or images to Microsoft 365 Copilot, which will respond to your questions. The Ask Microsoft 365 Copilot action requires a Microsoft 365 license and follows your organization’s privacy policies. [Narrator] New! The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator helps protect your privacy and improve focus by blacking out the screen while Narrator reads content aloud. This is especially helpful in public or shared spaces, where you can work with sensitive information without others seeing your screen. To turn on Narrator, press Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Then press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C to turn on Screen Curtain. While it’s on, you can use Narrator as usual with the screen hidden. Press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C again to turn it off. New! Narrator makes it easier to discover and learn about its features directly within the experience. Whether you're new or exploring advanced options, Narrator will guide you through the latest updates using a series of steps and prompts that explain each new feature and change. [PC Migration] New! The PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows is starting to roll out. You’ll begin to see the landing and the pairing page in the Windows Backup app, giving you a first look at what’s coming. In the full experience, you’ll be able to transfer files and settings from an old PC to a new one during setup. Support for this feature during PC setup will arrive in a future update. The rollout is being introduced in phases to support a smooth experience. [Settings] New!​​​​​​​ The Settings homepage managed by IT admins now includes cards tailored for enterprise use. These include familiar options like "Recommended settings" and "Bluetooth devices" along with other new cards for device info and accessibility preferences. If a user signs in with both a work or school account and Microsoft account, an additional account card appears to show both account types. New! The country or region selected during device setup now appears under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Fixed: The storage card in Settings > System > About shows an incorrect or unreadable character instead of the proper disk size. [Taskbar & System Tray] New!​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The taskbar now resizes icons to fit more apps when space runs low, keeping everything visible and easy to access. You can adjust how icons appear in settings—reduce icon size only when the taskbar is full (default), keep icons at their original size at all times by selecting Never, or use smaller icons all the time by selecting Always. To change this setting, right-click an empty area on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, expand the Taskbar behaviors section, and choose your preference under Show smaller taskbar buttons. New! In addition to the new grouping of the Accessibility menu in Quick settings, there are text descriptions for the assistive technologies like Narrator, Voice access, and more for easier identification and learning. New! Adjusted the indicator (pill) under taskbar apps to make it wider and more visible.​​​​​​​ Fixed: WIN + CTRL + Number doesn't work anymore for switching windows of an open app in the taskbar.​​​​​​​ Fixed: When using taskbar in Windows, the media controls that appear in the preview windows for apps might unexpectedly flicker. [Voice Access] New! You can now use Voice access to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. New! You can add custom words to the dictionary in voice access. The feature will be available in all the currently supported voice access languages. [Windows Share] ​​​​​​​New! When you share links or web content using the Windows share window, you'll see a visual preview for that content. New! In the Windows share window, you can select a compression level—High, Medium, or Low Quality—when editing and sharing images, instead of selecting from a 0–100 scale. [Color] Improved: Adjusted the location of the intensity and color boost sliders under Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters, so the color previews at the top of the page remain visible while adjusting the sliders. [File Explorer] Improved: Performance has been enhanced when extracting archive files - this will particularly help in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives. [Graphics] Improved: Made underlying changes to enhance display related user experiences, including reducing screen flashing during certain display configuration transitions and eliminating unnecessary display resets that occurred in some cases​​​​​​​. Fixed: Some displays might be unexpectedly green. Fixed: If User Account Control (UAC) is set to Always Notify and the button under Settings > System > Display color calibration is selected for your display and canceled, Settings will stop responding. [Input] Fixed: Typing in Japanese with the touch keyboard might stop working after switching to typing with an English keyboard and then switching back. [MSFTEdit.dll] Fixed: Some apps like Sticky Notes and dxdiag might stop responding when the display language is set to Arabic or Hebrew display. [Quick Settings] Fixed: The top three buttons in the top row don’t respond when selecting to enable or disable them. [Printing] Fixed: Printed lines might be unexpectedly thicker than expected. [Scripting] Fixed: Running a script on a remote Server Message Block (SMB) share might take an unexpectedly long time if the share is hosted on an older Windows Server version like Windows Server 2019. [Windowing] ​​​​​​​Fixed: When you press ALT + Tab to switch out of a full screen game, other windows like Windows Terminal might stop responding. Fixed: An underlying issue might lead to unexpected changes to window size and position after sleep and resume on some devices. Fixed: Explorer.exe might stop working unexpectedly when a window is dragged, if window snapping is enabled. And here is what is available to all users right away: [Copilot] Fixed: Improved the Copilot key’s reliability and resolved an issue that prevented users from restarting Copilot after using the key. [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue to maintain efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). When running complex software defined data center (SDDC) related workflows, it’s possible the system might become unresponsive. [Storage optimization] Fixed: An issue that prevented unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages from being fully removed, which led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times. [Windows Hello] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that prevented the automatic renewal of expiring certificates in Windows Hello for Business. [Windows Search] ​​​​​​​Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—Search can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it. Fixed: This update enhances the reliability of Windows Search and resolves an issue that prevented users from typing in Windows Search in some cases. Known issues remain the same: there is a bug where Windows 11 renders Noto fonts poorly in Chromium-based browsers when the display scaling is set to 100%. A temporary workaround is to set the scaling to 125% or higher. You can download KB5060829 by heading to Settings > Windows Update. Alternatively, get it from the Microsoft Update Catalog using this link.
    • 4TB 2TB WD_BLACK SN8100 Gen5 NVMe 2280 SSDs are nice deals for sure by Sayan Sen Storage comes in different forms, both fast and slow, large and small. For example, the Seagate Exos 20TB and BarraCuda 16 TB are high-capacity CMR hard disk drives, and they are currently still selling at great prices. On the other hand, we have SSDs, which are much faster. The SK hynix P41 Platinum, for example, is a PCIe 4.0 drive and it is up for grabs at $120. If you need something faster, then take a look at Western Digital (WD) options, wherein we have the SN8100 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD at the lowest prices of just $480 for the 4TB variant and $260 for the 2TB variant (purchase links down below). Since this is a PCIe 5.0 SSD it is very fast, but like other Gen5 drives, it gets very hot especially for sustained reads and writes. So a heatsink is definitely recommended. The S8100 promises sequential reads of up to 14900 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 14,000 MB/s. In terms of random reads, it is rated for 2.3 million IOPS (input output operations per second) and random writes of up to 2.4 million IOPS. There are two reasons for the high random throughputs, first is the DRAM, as the SN8100 packs its own DRAM cache instead of relying on system memory, and second, the relatively new NAND technology called CMOS directly bonded to array (CBA) that helps boost interface speed. Speaking of NAND, the SN8100 features TLC, or triple-level, cells which provides excellent endurance and this 4TB drive is rated for 2400 TBW, while the 2TB is at 1200 TBW.

    • Oof my bad.. I just realized the WAN port on the X10 only allows 1Gbit input from the modem >.<  arghh that derails everything lol. OK I'll need a new router then. Since I'm the only wired user in the household (everything else is wireless), would you say the RS100 is a good solution?  apparently not.. accepts 2.5Gbit, but outputs 1Gbit.. Still need a better solution. As for a build your own, I'm afraid i'm limited in power here  PC, Games, TVs, Printer, Receiver/Amp+ secondary Amp.. heck even the Mini Split (don't ask how/why they did it this way). One more major device trips the breaker :P Although I just noticed this tidbit on my router's config page. It almost looks as if the modem could somehow input "INTO" the 10Gbit port, rather than using the 10Gbit port as an output? https://imgur.com/a/uiObRNK What would be the purpose of this?  Even if that were possible, I'm still limited to 1Gbit regular ports ToT  I was also looking at the link aggregation on the router, but apparently that doesn't really help with download from a single stream, just balances.. and Win10/11 seems to have broken this functionality due to it never being intended for consumer OSs. I had it running at one point using the Intel proset driver that came with the mobo (has two LANs, just because I could), but that one update killed it. Not sure if that would at least have contributed to something.
