I <3 my Gigabit Network

I would just have to re-iterate how much I love having a full Gigabit network (that's 1000Mbits/second). I just love how PC to PC transfers are almost as fast as drive to drive transfers (I/O bottleneck instead of network now). I love seeing 60-70% network utilization during a ripped album (in FLAC) takes a few seconds from my desktop to my server. The bandwidth is amazing. Me likies.

I used to think that Gigabit was a waste of time but now my everyday over the network stuff is so much better. Transferring contents of one hard drive to another PC (to shuffle hard drives around) are sooo fast. I guess it beats Ethernet Bonding (and no point in bonding Gigabit since there is an I/O bottleneck as is anyways - unless if I start doing some crazy SSD RAID action - but even then, its not worth it haha)...

That and I still have a big box of Cat6 in my bedroom.... :o
