Re: FireWire ok, Gigabit - Overkill

said by wentlanc See Profile:
I have two Seagate 120 gig SATA-150 disks in a RAID 0 array. Guess what, you still cannot hardly touch gig. The biggest bottleneck with gig is the BUS speed of the machine. in fact, the most sure fire way to drive the CPU of a server up is to introduce gig-e. Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit ethernet has it's place. But the home most definitely is not it.

You need 750MHz or more of CPU to max-drive Gig E. You also need a nice chunk of system board bandwidth and wide PCI bus. Even then, over a cross-over GibE link, you'll only get about 800Mbps.
