[BackupPC-users] Backup Data Transfer Speed

Hi,

I am modifying my whole backup system for greater volume and speed. The new system is as follows:

    Software - Backuppc using rsync (without SSH)
    Server -    D865PERL Motherboard
                    Pentium 4 - 2.4 GHz Processor
                    IDE System hard drive
                    SATA, 1 TB WD green backup data storage disk. (S/B 1.5 Gb/S)
                    1GB system memory
                    PCI bus
                    Intel PWLA8391GT PRO/1000 GT PCI Network Adapter
                    Cat 6 cable

    Clients (2)
                Intel DP55KG motherboard
                Intel i5-750 Processor 4 core, 2.66 GHz
                Hard Drive - Western Digital WD5000AADS -500GB, 32MB Cache, SATAII (3 Gb/s)
                PCIX bus
                2 GB system memory
                Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E Network Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK
                Cat 6 Cable

I have read all sorts of complaints about this type setup and need some advice. It would appear that I should get around 1 Gbit/S transfer rate for continuous data transfer. If this is not true, why not and what can I realistically expect.
