probably not if you go to manager there is a network tab you can see the
throughput on it. Most hard drive can not sustain the speeds that 100mb
Ethernet can. Do you have a switch or a hub? You should be doing your
backups during off times not when people are playing games? how many ports
do you have on the hub/switch? If it is a switch you could just add a second
15.00 nic and double your bandwidth. If you have hub get a switch you can
get a 10/100/1000 switch for about 60 bucks.
