Jun 9, 2016 9:02 AM in response to s.alismousaviby Tesserax,By "speed" I am assuming you mean the maximum data transfer rates for these types of connections. If that is correct. then it will be highly dependent on your current network configuration so that any performance numbers provided will not necessarily be what you would get on your network.
I wrote an AirPort User tip related to this topic. It is located here. It should give you an idea of "typical" data rates that you can expect.

Jun 9, 2016 10:01 AM in response to Tesseraxby s.alismousavi,Actually I want use TC as an external hard drive on my home network (connect to TC via wifi or ethernet) and connect to it via my MBP and iPhone and iPad.
When I copy a file from my MBP to TC and also from TC to MBP, I wanna know how much is maximum speed of transferring ?
Also how much is maximum speed of transferring from a gigabit NAS that I connect to TC with ethernet ?

Jun 9, 2016 10:20 AM in response to Csound1by s.alismousavi,My home network:
a dsl Internet connection goes into a asus router and from that a lan connection goes into a Time Capsule and I connect to home network via ac wifi that TC has or via ethernet port on the TC.
I think TC wifi speed (what written in apple website) is 1.3Gbps

Jun 9, 2016 12:42 PM in response to s.alismousaviby Csound1,Is the TC connection a wireless one, if so which wireless (G, N, or AC)
If it is wired, are all your devices gigabit or 100mbs,
Which cables are in use, CAT5 or greater?

Jun 9, 2016 1:03 PM in response to Csound1by s.alismousavi,It is AC wireless and gigabit ethernet with cat 6 cable (some of my devises connect via AC wireless and some of them via gigabit ethernet)

Jun 10, 2016 7:29 AM in response to s.alismousaviby Tesserax,★HelpfulWhat you can expect (bandwidth) and what you actually get (throughput) are two different things.
When I copy a file from my MBP to TC and also from TC to MBP, I wanna know how much is maximum speed of transferring ?
There are three things to take into consideration in this scenario:
- The bandwidth of the Ethernet connection between the MBP & the TC. Both support Gigabit Ethernet ... so, in theory, the bandwidth of this connection is 1 Gbps.
- The bandwidth of the TC's internal hard drive interface. The TC's internal hard drive uses an eSATA interface. eSATA bandwidth is typically around 2,400 Mbps.
- The hard drive's rated data access rate. I believe the TC uses a Seagate 7200 rpm Barracuda drive.
Those things just listed are not necessarily additive, but they all should be taken into consideration when trying to determine the overall available bandwidth between the MBP & the TC. The bottleneck will be the drive interface, not the Ethernet connection between the MBP & the TC.
Also how much is maximum speed of transferring from a gigabit NAS that I connect to TC with ethernet ?
Basically, the same three things apply here as the above.
Regardless of the overall available bandwidth, the actual data rate or throughput will be less, possibly much less. How much less would again depend on your actual network with these items connected. You would have to make the throughput measurements yourself to make an actual determination of the true "speed" performance.

Jun 10, 2016 7:30 AM in response to LaPastenagueby LaPastenague,★HelpfulHere is the test from a later computer.
EL Capo..
By ethernet.
Over wireless which is linked at 1053Mbps so near to full AC speed.
Note as per Tesserax .. the amount of variation is huge.. it is hard to give numbers that are reproducible. Changes from one computer to another.. from even one TC to another are dramatic.
Here is result to Synology NAS.
I am not sure why the write speed on this computer is so slow.. from a Windows PC i can get 100MB/s or very close both read and write.

Jun 10, 2016 7:40 AM in response to LaPastenagueby s.alismousavi,Synology NAS test is over ac wifi too or ethernet??
-
Jun 10, 2016 7:03 PM in response to s.alismousaviby LaPastenague,Ethernet.. you will never get 100MByte/s speed through wireless even if the link speed is 1300Mbps.. remember always wireless is half duplex.
Here is the speed over wireless. Don't ask me to explain the crazy improvement in write speed.. but the drop in Read is as expected.. still very good I must say.
