1GB Ethernet Speed

Hello -

I have the Lenovo USB 3.0 dock, which uses the DL-3000 series chips with the integrated 1GB ethernet adapter. What's strange though, is that I'm only able to get between 25-40MB/sec, which would lead me to believe that while it's a 1GBe adapter on a USB 3.0 dock, maybe the USB ethernet adapter inside the dock is actually only USB 2.0?

Can anyone confirm or deny that? It's not the end of the world, but with the USB 3.0 technology, I was excited about the proposition of moving large files like movies ISO images at or near 1GBE speeds on our network.

Thanks,

- Jeff
