[QUOTE="Klathman, post: 196956, member: 53773"] MB or Mb? A new Caviar SATA 3GB was tested by tomshardware at a peak speed of 754.4Mb/s and an average of 602.4. Sure it's slower than 1Gb but it's actually higher than what you'd practically get out of 1GbE at the moment. And that's right now so what about in 5-10 years time? Once the wire is in I don't want to touch it again and since it's in plush boxes mounted on the walls it'll be a pain to change. Oh and BTW just had a look before and 10GBASE-T is speced to work on Cat6 up to 55m and the proposed Cat6a up to 100m. Cat5/5e is not supported. Cat5e SHOULD work with 1GbE but if there is too much interference Cat6 WILL work better. Again if putting stuff cleanly in the wall like I have you'll hardly want to rip it out if there happens to be an interference problem in the future. As for when I've had problems in the past it's always when the network is pushed. Replace Cat5e with Cat6 cable and the throughput goes up. Try it sometime and you might be shocked. [/QUOTE]
