How can I saturate my 1 gb/s Ethernet connection?

[Tac0kat]

I have a 1 gb/s Ethernet connection going into my PC. I don't think that the hardware is a bottleneck because I'm running a Intel Xeon 2650v3 and 32gb of DDR4. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Why do you WANT To saturate it?

If you are expecting exactly 1Gbps in and out, you'll be disappointed. The protocols that actually carry data over Ethernet have a fair bit of overhead (bandwidth used for things other than the actual data). The best you can realistically expect is  about 80-85MB/s (720Mbps)

A NAS? Local transfers at 1Gbps are nice.

Right now I'm only getting 60Mbps

60Mbps, or 60MB/s? There's a massive difference (factor of 8). 

 

If it is 60Mbps, something is very wrong. What are the systems and their storage on either side.

If it's 60MB/s, that's just about normal without serious optimization.

1Gbit/s LAN is pointless if HDD's from BOTH computers can't do 100MB/s write/read (or router can do only 100Mbit/s :P).
U got HDD's that can do read/write 100MB/s minimum ?

Hey, I found the problem. I was use 1 of the HDD in my computer instead of the SSD RAID array.

That would definitely cause the problem.
