We measured performance of the router, that is, data transfer on the LAN side using the ASUS P4P800 with a RAID 0 (Seagate Barracuda 7200.7) and the Shuttle SB52G2 equipped with a 4 disk RAID 0 based on Fujitsu 2.5" SATA drives and a Promise FastTrack S150 TX4 PCI controller card. Both systems are equipped with Gigabit LAN controllers that allow approximately 40 MB/sec total throughput in file copy over network using a peer-to-peer connection. Keep in mind that the peak throughput rate of a 100 Mbit/s router is in the order of 11 MB/s plus overhead (the 12 MB/s mentioned on the last page)

We compared the overall throughput in both directions as measured with Hagel's DU Meter as well as with SiSoft Sandra Network/LAN Bandwidth Benchmark. As reference we used the DLink Di614+ AirPlus Wireless 4 port Network router as well as the Nexland Pro800turbo. For DUMeter, we copied WindowsXP Service Pack1 back and forth between the two computers with DU Meter starting after the file transfer was under way and stopped before the transfer was completed to avoid skewing of the results by idle periods at the beginning or the end of the measurement.

There are small differences between the three different routers, however, when we reversed the copy direction, those differences disappeared completely. For better comparison, we put the results in a chart:

At One Glance

1: Maximum, 2: Average transfer ASUS => Shuttle; 3:Average, 4: Maximum throughput Shuttle => ASUS. The differences are in the noise of the system configuration.
