I'm doing research to replace a slow ReadyNas setup at work.
We get about 10-15MBps on a gigabit network when transferring files from and to the ReadyNas.
We can get around 40MBps when transferring files form one Mac to another.
What we do:
We push pixels at work manipulating photos using Photoshop that can end up around 2-5GB. We only have Mac.
I want to get an Infortrend Enstor Raid. I have an old G5 2.0DP that I can run as the file server.
I'm stuck on the FC vs SAS I don't understand it enough to make a decision.
Fibre Channel (FC) or SAS connection for the raid? What is the best way to get good speed out of these raids?
We want something that can handle transfers in the 200MBps range. I do not know if this is unrealistic.
