As the title says...

Example if using the Transmission application how fast can the N900 write the data to memory?


Cheers

same speed as N97 or X6, the same harddrive is installed.

Which means in practice that probaby the only bottleneck here is your network speed. I can easily achieve maximum of what my ISP plan is offering (currently 3mbit). While copying data to the device using mass storage mode, I get ~16,5MB/s, which is really nice if you're in a hurry.

Thanks for the un-usefull comment..

I didn't ask can it write at the same speeds as a different device.

Note that the write speed heavily depends on actual usage patterns. A lot of (relatively) small, concurrent writes will give you significantly slower speeds than a sequential write of a large file (e.g. music, video, etc). That said, the few hundred KB/s required for Transmission is easily attainable (you will almost certainly hit network connection or CPU/mem bottlenecks before you hit the write speed limit, unless you are swapping heavily).

Cheers for that

I was D/L'in at around 1.5 meg and it was writing fine
