When transfering files from HDD to PC, I get diferent results on a ET9000 and a DM7020HD.
When file is in ET9000 HDD, I get a 11,3 MB/s constant data rate, but if file is in 7020HD, I get a constantly variable speed, like a roller coaster.
(Transfers are made separately, I mean not at the same time)
Look at the pictures, first is from ET9000 , second is from 7020HD
.

Both STBs are connected to the same switch, which has the Desktop PC connected too.
When transfering, both STBs are standby.
Why is ET performing better than DM ?
