Hi,

Warning, I inserted a major confusion in my previous email.

When I wrote :

This is of course SATA Magnetic/Mecanic drive. Thanks for pointing that SSD has 
to revolution per minute metrics.

I'm deeply sorry,

So, yes, the SSD completely changed the performances for this solution from a 
useless one to a working one.
And also, the Gigabit card is necessary to reach acceptable performances.
When you need fast resync, it's interesting to split your volumes in 2, to have 
2 DRBD clusters :
with Cross-Cable, you always have the full duplex active, and if you cross sync 
2 DRBD volume pairs, you can replicate at 90MB/s in one way, and 90MB/s the 
other way. (total 180MB/s for resyncing to DRBD volumes with one volume master 
on each node.)

Regards,

The cost of one PCI-E 1Gb card is for 10€, if you want use a Intel 
good card, you cand speed 30€....

Change to 1G, this is you problem...
