It is quite possible that Windows 7 is mis-reporting the transfer speed. To put it in perspective, I would expect around 70-90MB/s from a direct SATA2 connection to a hard disk, so to hear that network transfers on gigabit are going around that speed makes me scratch my head (and a little jealous). I can usually expect transfers of around 30-40MB/s from my server. Maybe I'm just used to mediocrity?
