Hi,
the gigabit adapter will be ready to give for free in nearly 3-4 weeks.
Also the plug and play DVBS2 is finished development, the sales will start in 4 weeks, at Anga Show we wil lhave already samples there.
With Best Regards

USB mediate GB LAN will run at max of 250 mbit/s as only USB 2.0 so not worth much really
Hi,
the real (German) official web page only says 100MBit. They changed from 100/1000 to 100/100:-)
A guy in Germany attached an USB-GigaBit-adapter to his Quad and achieved a bit over 20Mbyte/sec. It is not much if you only copy a few short files but instead of 2hours copying it would be 1hour.
ciao

You can shift ~35 gb an hour at fast Ethernet (100 mbit) speed. Gigabit is more useful in burst capacity for BD image playback etc
so even the full usb2.0 bandwidth is not used with a usb lan adapter?

Not much of an improvement and far from GBLAN tooOriginally Posted by Trial
This is what I'm getting right now (using lan speed test lite)

Maybe it would improve with the new kernel+drivers?
I must admit if it is barely double fast Ethernet I wonder if its worth it? giving the fact that a USB device must use some other resources too?
Still, if its free I'll take one

ye if its free why not
see what happens again when this new kernel and drivers appear.

they should just put the dvb-s2 tuner on sale already, i dont think that many people are interested to see a pluggable tuner at anga. unless thats really big news for gigablue, guess they'll just have a stand with a pluggable tuner on it.

Transport layer overheads take up a lot of bandwidth
You can get one for £10 on ebayMaybe it would improve with the new kernel+drivers?

25mBytes/s is the max you'll be able to manage and I doubt you'll get it.

Vu will debut Duo2 and so it won't matter what's on Gigablue standthey should just put the dvb-s2 tuner on sale already, i dont think that many people are interested to see a pluggable tuner at anga. unless thats really big news for gigablue, guess they'll just have a stand with a pluggable tuner on it.

true, there'll be overheads just like any protocol, but it doenst take up half of the bandwidth for it.

Quote from an old NEC article: "Specified speed of USB 2.0 is 480 mbps (in other words, around 60 Million Bytes per second, or 57.2 MB/s), but 57.2 MB/s is NOT the actual data rate. This is because USB 2.0 packet is inclusive of overhead data. [Note that conversion from megabits to MegaBytes requires (x*1,000,000/8)/1,048,576.]
Moreover, idle time are added between packets. Besides, data rate is also dependent on the system architecture, the PCI bus and the attached USB devices. Therefore, actual data transfer rate [of USB 2.0 High-speed] will be lower than 480 mbps (57.2 MB/s). Our measurement result of data transfer rate with USB 2.0 storage device (HDD) is about 20 - 25 MB/s on average."

I've just read the German site and there seem to be two chipsets recognized; LAN7500 and ASIX 505932 . A guy who had a device using the LAN7500 chip claimed 33 MBytes/s (write) and 29.5 MBytes/s throughput which is pretty impressive. However, someone else said they only got 15-18 MBytes/s.
I'm tempted to pick up a LAN7500 adapter and try myself.
Read about the chipset here (and get the drivers!)
