Someone wants to get a new drive that is external and only has a lan
connection (1 gig).
The computer does have a 1 gig ethernet on the motherboard...
however the ROUTER that will be connecting the 2 is only 100MB ...
So what would happen is that the connection speed would drop to 100mb of
course since that's the router speed.
So I thought of getting a new 1 GIG SWITCH and connect everything as you can
see in this diagram:

I suspect that the speed connection between the router and switch would be
100mb
and the connection between the PC and HARD DRIVE would be 1 Gig...
can someone tell me if my thoughts are correct?
thank you!
