And even if your self built (take lots of pride in that achievement BTW) Norco solution is slightly more expensive, you have a large number of advantages, not least of which is increased performance. You can also have all your files under one share/mapping where that would be 5 shares using the ready made NAS boxen. And you intentionally built it leaving some performance on the table, for increased flexibility WRT expansion with one filesystem tree. You're getting ~60MB/s server <> laptop now (which is pretty nice for a laptop mechanical drive). Drop an SSD into the laptop and you should be seeing closer to 90-100MB/s, assuming you're cabled with GbE and the NICs on both ends are decent. > And with the speed and possibilities it gives me I consider my solution > better than what I could get from a ready to use NAS. Amen. ;) Just imagine what it would do if you started from scratch with 20 of the Black drives in md/RAID6 w/a 32K chunk, and XFS tuned to the stripe. You'd easily hit 1GB/s streaming reads, with streaming writes probably >500MB/s. Depends on your CPU. I forgot which one is in the Asus board. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
