Notice also the burst rate, which is the maximum speed of the interface, not of the sustained data transfer rate. Most FTP clients will give transfer rate.

So this is the fastest, all else is limiting the speed being bottlenecks with the interfaces. Wired Ethernet of 100mbs is about 12MBs. Gigabit might give not 10X speed, but more like 4X. USB1 is 12mbs, about 1MBS USB2 is 480mbs, about 60MBs, but in real life you get only about 25-27MBs due to USB overhead. Firewire400 (the most common, 800 is rare) is 400mbs, but due to low overhead, can sometimes transfer better than USB2, with by far lower CPU utilization. The speed of the USB and FW is highly dependent on the quality of the controller chip. Raymond,

I wonder, is it faster to transfer using USB to IDE/Sata cable or network? That’d work too. I wonder, is it faster to transfer using USB to IDE/Sata cable or network?

This is much easier than removing the hard drive and installing it on another computer. In many cases you can connect the cable to the drive while it is still inside the computer. Of course you need another working computer or laptop for the USB side. You can also use a USB to IDE/Sata cable.

I'll try out with a linux live CD and see how easy it is. It makes sense that linux can get around the read-write permissions as linux ignores ntfs permission. Thanks for the suggestion guys.
