SSD's vs HDD Options

[Harlski]

I'm creating a home media network at home, transferring files to a central computer which is my Media-PC. However I've noticed that transferring videos over lan is very slow.

Would swapping out a hard drive in my Media-PC and replacing it with an SSD, allow me to get faster transfer speeds through lan? Or what modifications would I need to make to the Media-PC to enable me in achieving fastest incoming speeds.

Much love.

SSD has a faster rate but are smaller drives and much more expensive than traditional HDD.

You said "faster transfer through the lan" would involve you buying at least a 100mbit (Fast) or 1000mbit (Gigabit) switch to ensure the transfer across the network is up to spec. But then it's upto the PC's bus to handle the balance of the transaction. If its an older motherboard, you won't get much more speed out of it until you upgrade the motherboard.
