Being AES should have a pretty dramatic impact right? or is it not decrypted and just bounced from one place to another? > I use this share like a local harddisk.

Thanks for very good input. What you report beats the snot out of the WD `My Book World Edition' I'm testing out. I only tried a few tests and they weren't done rigorously like someone benchmarking would have to do. I made no attempt to control what else might be running, other than not purposely starting anything. I tried copying 950MB of graphic files across gigabit lan (winXP to the Book) ... it took 3 min 40 seconds. (about 4mb sec) Whereas copying the same data from one machine to another (windowsXP) took 40 seconds. (Incidently.. that appears to be a bit faster than what you report at 23mb sec) Might have something to do with the fact that it is identical filesystem to identical filesystem (ntfs) Copying the same data from a winXP to my gentoo box across 10/100 lan took 1 min 10 seconds. (A little less than what you see at 13mb sec) So even in a case where the measurement should have been skewed in favor of the Book, it was over 300% slower. And in the case that should have been comparable it was over 500% slower. Unless I've made some horrible error in the math, which is not unlikely, I think my test shows 4mb per second. (I just divided the MB by the seconds), that is so far under what you see, that alone tells me to return this dog and spend the money ($229) building up my own.
