720 network speeds

I can download files from my desktop -> 720 CF at 150 Kbps tops. Seems marginally slow.
Can someone else do a transfer or two and calculate their speed for comparison?

good question, i can copy only with a speed of 150 kbps to two of the SD's / MMC's i have (had). so the CF can be that slow maybe.
i'll test now

edit: oops sorry i meant 150 kbyte/s. did you really mean kbit/s?! then i can tell you even without testing that it's faster for me.

ok i did a test. i used two large files, both are rar files. i wasn't near the wlan router.

results:

j728, 512mb sandisk cf, senao, totalcmd, 10,1 MB, 90 secs
j728, 256mb simpletech cf, senao, totalcmd, 10,1 MB, 66 secs
sig3, 1gb verbatim sd, senao, totalcmd, 10,1 MB, 53 secs
sig3, RAM, senao, totalcmd, 9,9 MB, 56 secs
intermec, 256mb simpletech cf, dlink, totalcmd, 10,1 MB, 60 secs
intermec, 256mb simpletech cf, senao, totalcmd, 9,9 MB, 70 secs

(machine, destination of transfer, wlan card, filemanager, size of file, total transfer time)

results are varying from 112 kByte/s to 191 kByte/s.

i have achieved almost the max of my dsl connection speed with the 900C using IE for downloading a file into RAM. around 250 kByte/s iirc. (max is 270 for my dsl) maybe it could be even higher, maybe the server maxed out at that speed

i should try it with another filemanager too, but it's enough for now i guess

Are you benching with a stop watch or a bench utility?

watch

so maybe it's more appropriate to say 110-190 kbyte/s

why do you ask?

I was thinking about how easy/difficult it would be to create a benching utility for file system / network read / write operations.

cool idea. meanwhile i'll try hpc pro stuff to see if there's a difference

oh btw for file system benching there's spb benchmark but it is CE3+ only of course as it is ppc. it was interesting to compare the j728's results with the modern ppc's performed similarly to the original ipaq of course. (i could try it with newer hpcs too, hmm...)

ok, got the hpc pro results. in one word: poooor.

nec 780: 256 mb simpletech cf, senao, totalcmd, 10,1 MB, 3 mins 23 secs (that's 203 secs). just under 50 kbyte/s.

jornada 680: i wouldn't open the cf drawer in fear of breaking it, so i used the 32 mb hitachi something that i have in there. after waiting 6-7 mins (and trying for the second time, as at first the hpc shut itself off and i had to start all over again) i gave up the file was 4 kbyte on the cf card after stopping transfer. then tried a 2.0 MB file instead of the 10.1 one. the card was a real pcmcia (senao - without an antenna but it still picks up signal quite well), i will never put a pcmcia-cf adapter in that slot again.

ok, so the 2.0 MB file (a zip) transferred over in 46 seconds to the 32mb cf, and in 24 seconds to RAM. that's 43 kbyte/s for the cf and 83 kbyte/s for ram. and less than 20 kbyte/s for the large 10,1 MB file... unknown... maybe 0.1 kbyte/s?

oh btw nec 900c: 256 mb simpletech cf, senao, totalcmd, 10,1 MB, 70 secs

These are all tests done on my 72o

10.1mb = 1:38 spectrum = 98 s = 106Kb/s
2.0mb= 24.5 spectrum = 84 Kb/s

10.1mb = 1:14 wpc11 = 74 s = 140Kb/s
2.0mb= 15 wpc11 = 137 Kb/s

10.1mb = 1:09 dcf660 = 69s = 150Kb/s
2.0mb= 14.5 dcf660 = 141 Kb/s

Monica the SigIII and 6651 results were interesting, pretty close to each other considering the vast speed diffs. You mobilepro results were the same as I've done, not shappy.

wow the dlink beat all the others (the dlink i used was a 660 too.)

and i thought my senao (CF!) was bad. (it gets a weaker signal than the dlink at that corner of the room where i was carrying out the tests)

yeah 6651 performed well

mobilepro: you tried it with a 780 (more precisely 781?) or 790 (or 789)?

Both my 781 and the 880 results were the same as yours. Slower than hpc2k, < half the speed.

When it was the 790, and now the 890, the results are about double. Same hardware, different OS, huge differences in speed. I'm staring to look at 2.11 in a less favorable light these days

Speed isn't the be all but I'm impatient at times while copying files.

ah i never liked 2.11 1.0/2.0 seemed always more interesting and 3.0 is so much more capable

just some little news.

lan is much faster, 600 kbyte/s or so (6 MB, 10 secs)

tested machine: j720 and some noname lan.

amazing.

senao's are reknowned for having weak internal antennas. When I say reknowned, I've read it on a few different websites. (Perhaps they're trying to get an antenna purchase too).
I know my enterasys pulls in a lot more with a 7.0dbi antenna attached and it would be interesting to see if there's a difference.
(I don't have any network sharing set up personally, I'll look for a speed test..)
addendum:
not quite on topic as it's internet dslreports speed test. On a J720:

sandisk wifi/128cf: 255kbits/s
enterasys int: 265kbits/s
enterasys ext: 300kbits/s

I havent gotten my card for my J720 yet, but on my other one (that a buddy of mine is using) I recall there being a difference between SMB and FTP network access.
if I recall correctly, copying files from a network share was slower then using ftp to get the file.
You might also want to try http as well to see if that makes a difference for you.
