Poor performance of Ethernet external HDDs

External storage is a $1.5 Billion a year business and their Ethernet external HDDs (My Book World Edition) still only have a max. transfer rate of 40Mbps? They are too cheap to put in a better chipset.

They don't mention this poor performance anywhere on the product pages!

SSH not enough?

My comment is only related to the part of the article with this sentence:

"This will enable Windows sysadmins to remotely monitor and repair servers running on the main flavours of Unix and Linux."

I might not be an expert in this field and completely off topic, but my work experience includes 6 years of working in Linux / Windows environment (Linux servers, most tools running on servers, Windows/Linux desktops, some tools running on Windows) and all I've ever used to acces a Linux server is a ssh client in Windows (Putty).

Our sysadmins cope just fine with all admin/repair work for servers AND applications running on them using just ssh.

The article IS talking about servers (at least I read it that way), not applications like Web Servers and others, right?
