| File Transfer Time Chart |

Pick a column that approximates your
expected upload speed (in Kbps/KBps). Then pick a row
that is close to your file size. The time is in
HH:MM:SS (except for a few very large size, low speed
transfer, which are expressed in number of days). Typical Internet users can expect
300-600 Kbps upload.
The right side of the chart is for
Local Area Network (LAN)
transfer. The 3 columns represent different Ethernet
speeds:
10 BaseT, 100 BaseT & Gigabit Ethernet, across
typical light traffic networks, from one computer hard
drive to another computer hard drive. Note that with
these relatively high speed lines (unlike the Internet),
actual through-put is not even close to the theoretical
rated speed, as other bottlenecks and overheads are
becoming more significant. DVD Transfer Time Chart
This is a look-up table to the time it
takes to burn a DVD or transfer the image across the
network.
For example: A disc containing 8
Gigabyte would take 42 minutes to burn on a 2.4x burner,
and 32 minutes to copy over 100 BaseT network under
ideal conditions (no other traffic). |
