I get 22 seconds locally and about 6-1/2 minutes from an NFS client.
There's no point trying to accelerate your disks if you're only going to use
a single client over gigabit.
This is a really strange statement. It does not make any sense.
It makes about as much sense as saying that if you have only one car
that there is no need for it to be able to go faster than 10 mph, but
if you have 60 cars, then it is worthwhile for the cars to each be
able to go 60 mph. The driver of that lone 10 mph car will not be
very happy.
On a different discussion thread, one fellow was able to drop the tar
file extraction time from 92 minutes to just under 7 minutes. As a
user of the client system, he is much happier.
Probably the DDRDrive is able to go faster since it should have lower
latency than a FLASH SSD drive. However, it may have some bandwidth
limits on its interface.
