Is the problem really the network? If you tested your thoughput c200 to
300 Mbpsopying a file, then I guess the bottleneck is your hard drive.
Your 200 to 300 Mbps correspond to your disk throughput in my opinion.
Try to use iperf to test your network throughput, and be well aware
that your disk io will be the real bottleneck here.
