I decided to try out this new device called a NDAS (no not an NAS) but an NDAS. Network Direct Attached Storage. Anyway it says it is the fastest method of transferring data. I have tried a direct connection through a gig lan and it transferred 35GB of info in an 8 hour period. I then hooked up an external hdd through esata and it did 35GB in less than 5 minutes. Can anyone explain what is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Also, this hdd runs at 52 idle in this enclosure and 35 in others.

Lan Connection is 1000mbs only if both ends are GIGABIT. So the NDAS has to have a gigabit card and your desktop has to have a gigabit card. Otherwise it's only 100mb

Esata is 3000mb
