I knew the 160Gb ATA would be a bottleneck but after reading this article I’m depressed. Although I think that once you have your files on the server you won’t be hitting that drive heavily with huge amounts of data. Worse case scenario for me is ripping a BD movie at 40 gigs over to the server.
And there are some good links at the bottom of the article related to performance of the server.
edit-
I just checked my transfer rate and I am getting about 40MB a sec. I don’t consider that bad. And it is half way thru moving 630 gig over. so I would have hit that point where the local drive had to flush its temporary buffer and offload the files to the additional drives.
Is it odd for someone to be drinking beer and reading MS whitepapers on WHS on a Saturday night?
