I just did another test with Vista SP1, This time comparing copying a folder conatining random data and photos from a Vista SP1 machine to a WindowsXP machine, and then the same folder from the Vista SP1 Machine to another Vista SP1 machine. Both these PCs are equipped with Gigabit Network and comparisons were run while no other programs were running.

Vista SP1 to WinXP Results:

Average 19.98MB/Sec
Peak 28MB/Sec

Vista SP1 to Vista SP1 Results: drug eruption coumadin cr mg 12.5 paxil

Average Copy Speed 26 MB/Sec
Peak Copy Speed 46MB/Sec

Other Results:

 For another Test, I transfered 58GB of random personal files and videos over the network from a SP1 machine to another. Here is a screenshot capturing my results:

As you can see, we are peaking out here at 64.1MB a second with an average of 33.7, (later in the copy it reached 36MB/sec average speed.) Pretty darn impressive for network transfers.

This next little screenshot is pure WMV video files copying, which for some reason seem to copy quicker.

I just though I would chime in really quick on what I have been seeing now that I have Vista SP1 installed on my home computers. Before SP1, I was seeing about 20MB/sec transfer rates over my gigabit lan. SP1 has made a huge difference on the speed of my gigabit network. I am now seeing transfers peak at 60MB/sec with an average transfer rate of 40MB/sec. Now that’s more like it! I just thought gigabit hardware was maxed out, but apparently not. This extra boost will help out since I am still trying to recover from my Windows Home Server Fiasco that left my files scattered accross all my drives (in no particular order.) Either way, Im a happy camper so far with SP1, although I am kind of disappointed that vista was not this fast from the get-go. I mean you’d think it wouldnt have bottlenecked the networking capabilities so much.
Otherwise, I haven’t seen any other dramatic changes in the way SP1 handles things vs Original flavored Vista, but I will keep an eye out.

I had high hopes for Windows Home Server, and was very excited to try it out. At first I was impressed with the setup and easy to use features that Windows Home server offers. Unfortunately, after using Windows Home Server for a few weeks, the initial ease of use, and automation of WHS proved to be its downfall. The lack of control, corruption issues and slow network transfers destroys what could have been a fine product, and turned into a nightmare for me. Fortunately I didn’t lose data, This is my story and review of Windows Home Server.
