We have an OS X server with Gig-E and want to know what kind of real-world speeds Gig-E should sustain while file-sharing to a client.
We currently run ATA/100 drives and get almost 50-55MB/sec across the network (About what the drives sustain locally), will upgrading to a RAID produce more speed or will it be nominal?
Theoretically Gig-E is 125MB/sec correct? What kind of speeds are you guys getting with faster drive setups?
I am thinking of getting a SATA controller and striping a RAID 0, should yield close to 120MB/sec but if Gig-E can't sustain it then we wont incur the expense just yet.
(we have a nightly offline backup of everything, so reliability isn't that important, just pure speed)
