Let?s see what the glory future brings.
37.5TB (or even 1TB) passing thru a 100MBps pipe (which can only max out at 133MBps, unless mobo design moves towards "internal" PCIe) sounds really painful. The side-effect of needing to throw lots of spindles and SCSI cards and PCI busses at large data stores is that it gives you lots of throughput. > > > Regards, Mathias > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF9e5bS9HxQb37XmcRArzqAJ9nVDH8aBBhTfM0inK7XXuMMM/f9wCgvi1K x3Kpui24zkslqLJmKmjiDvA= =Fyag -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
