this one is stunning in 4k and dtshdma.

had watched it in 1080p ac3 3-4 months ago, now doing a second run at it!

You got 4k tv, go watch in 4k bro. Haha come bring a 4TB hdd disc to me, leave it overnight i can transfer all the 4k content to you. Specially for you bro. Kidding

i have some 4k stuff - only what i think is worth keeping.

some 4k stuff, i watch and discard.

but has a bigger collection of BDMV of my favorites.

over time, as new video comes out in 4k, will surely get them if they are worth it.

having been thru vhs->vcd->ld->dvd->bd... there can be no end... no need to change over everything everytime!

Yes it does degrade... particularly with single radio...but it really depends on what speed you need...

Up until last week I had two repeaters daisy chained and I can still do FHD...or 3 youtube streams...

My rule of thumb as long as your mesh / repeater network is 3x faster than required, it's not going to be a problem...

Anyways, I got too many routers around... lol... I still have 2 outdoors PoE APs and 2 normal APs in the drawer...

The USB3 transfer speed are still far less than it has specify (640MBps). can this speed increase using Cat-6 cable?

It won't because "Category 5 enhanced cabling, also known as Cat5e, It was made to support 1000 Mbps "gigabit" speeds, so in theory, it's faster than Cat5" Why you need Cat-6?

My 2 cents on Cat 6 cable.

Used Cat 6 for my home network and disappointed with the slow speed when I was backing up my PC to a NAS.

Later changed to another Cat 6 cable and wah-lah, the speed improved by about 2 folds.

Not all Cat 6 cables are the same. Sorry, I forgot the cable brands now.

Use this utility to find out what is the speed.

What's the transfer speed before & after?

Don't make me scared...

I understand the difference between theoretical and real-world speeds. Theoretical speeds are fun to have if you have all the necessary (read as lab) equipment to take advantage of it. However, I always base such purchases on real world data alone..

Try writing huge files within a fast SSD...Take the conveniently priced Samsung SSD 850 Pro or 950 Pro series... Don't even get me started on the beasty Samsung SM951 SSD.. Not all SSDs are created equal ya.. Plus one's OS and its state matters.. Linux FTW! Then there's the bottleneck of your network card.. Which most laptop owners don't get to choose.. Desktop builders will agree..

Some files are difficult to replace. Especially older content that aren't seeded anymore.

Yes!!!... Cuz in theory CAT5e can reach gigabit speed but you'll rarely get this.. However, CAT6 is guaranteed to reach and surpass gigabit speeds... Moooaarrr speed...

Yes... Another important point..

I'm using SSD on my laptop too I know the different. So what your transfer speed within SSD partition or SSD > SSD?

Take a read.
Here's another.

Can't remember now. I think I made a note of it. Will try to find it.

P/S If memory cells are still OK, something like 200 mbps to 400 mbps. Still want to get 1,000 mbps as what Cat 6 can do. Yes, there are limiters elsewhere, not just the cable.

Just screen shot your files transfer within your SSD parition. specification and actual transfer rate is different.

picture and audio nice. but just greeennnnnn, earth & animal only. boring too max..

err..

why suddenly a discussion on cat cables, SSD?

he was saying file transfer over wifi with samba is slow; he prefer direct HDD usb plug in to PC.

u not nature lover, i understand.

If the cat-5E cable that you previously install didn't transfer the speed within the spec there must be something wrong. Installation of the cable can be a factor. Cat-5 cables are easily twisted, over bending etc. All these are the cause of the loses. Cat-6 cable are much thicker and not easily twist like other cables. not to mention bending inside the conduits joins.

If the first initial installer followed the guide lines to installed the cat-5E cable. It is more than enough to coped the speed out hardware can handle.

I'm just trying to shared. even using the LAN doesn't means you can watched the best of the best 4K vid files because of the limitation. The best way is direct plugin or used proper 4K video player.

Because all the 4K movie streaming online are downscale vid.

Those websites publish real world speeds... Not theory...if that doesn't convince you.. Nothing else will.. Go check the sites out.. Also, i believe you didn't understand my previous posts.. Might want to re-read that too.

that why private tracker exist

Both are Cat 6 cables.

I was going to return the "slow" Cat 6 cable but no receipt! Got Cat 6 printed on this cable. And this cable is thinner than the other faster Cat 6 cable. My suspect is, it is actually a Cat 5 but they wrongly printed Cat 6 on the cable.
