have been the same device now to buy with 8 LAN ports, and due to positive experiences the "little brother". I have not measured the throughput time and I would not expect any peak values. By using a LAN at home, where there are not too many competing data transfers, everything works fine - limiting expected here rather the devices (and their memory as hard drives etc). If still larger amounts of data to be copied, which operated at significantly higher speeds than in a 100 Mbit network.
