Hi all, I am currently planning a new home file server on a gigabit network that will be utilizing ZFS (on SXDE). The files will be shared via samba as I have a mixed OS environment. The controller card I will be using is the SuperMicro SAT2-MV8 133MHz PCI-X card. I have two options for CPUs/motherboards:
AMD Athlon64 3000+ (64 bit) DFI LanParty UT 250gb (NForce 3 based) motherboard 32 bit PCI slots only 2GB RAM or Dual Intel Xeon 1.6GHz CPUs (32 bit) ASUS PCH-DL motherboard PCI-X slots @ 66MHz 2GB RAM I am trying to figure out where my bottleneck will be for file transfers. Will it be the controller card running in a regular PCI slot on the AMD setup? Will it be the 32 bit Intel system? Or will using samba overshadow either of the hardware options? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
