Throughtput of WL-HDD connected on WL500g via lan port?

[Spot]

Hi,

I've noticed that my wl500g gives me these throughtputs:

0,5 Mbyte/s in ftp mode (via usb 1.1). This is achieved when I download a file from my usb stick (connected via usb to my wl500g) to my wireless laptop.

and 2,5 Mbyte/s (practical max for 54g mode) when downloading the same file from my wirered pc (conected via lan to my wl500g) to the same wireless laptop than above.

I would like to know if a wl-hdd connected on wl500g via lan port could also give 2,5Mbyte/s to my wireless laptop? And of course something like 12,5 Mbyte/s (ethernet theorical throughtput) to my wirered pc?

And, alternatively, could we hope that wl500gx will give 2,5Mbytes/s in ftp mode (via usb 2.0) in next fw release?

Your answers should help me to make the best choice for a cheap file sharing solution on my lan (without having to run a pc server permanently).

Thanks.

wl-hdd no
wl500gx no

wl500gx is ~1300kb/sec
wl-hdd is ~2000kb/sec

no matter if it is wireless used or wired

Thanks Antiloop for reply!

To clarify my mind :D , you mean:

wl500gx is 1300kbyte/sec in ftp mode (downloading file from usb stick or usb hdd attached)

and

wl-hdd is 2000kbyte/sec wireless or wirered.

So, wl-hdd can't make better even if directly connected to pc (or router) via lan?

correct, the 2000kbyte/sec is only for the internal harddisk not for the ones connected via usb

the cpu is the bottleneck for the speed

2000 kbyte/sec is not enough for my needs in wirered mode.

So, do you know other file server product that could be attached by lan to the wl500g? (I mean some hardware like wl-hdd from asus but without the wireless option)

Thanks.
