no, not getting bored - yet The client back-up is a key fetaure for me and one of the reasons I decided to go with the WHS, so in my case turning it off is not an attractive solution. I ran the Iperf tests on the various clients (have dropped John from the mix for now). I've compiled the... -

00Roush, I did some testing to follow-up on your WHS testing in regard to which disks are actually being written to. Attached is a plot of local tests results run through Remote Desktop. I ran the same IOZone test on the C: and D: drives and then mapped the Public folder to a drive letter... -

I checked, and the settings below were already set on my WHS. To manually disable RSS and TCP Offload yourself, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic... -

00Roush, Here’s some IOZone testing results between Kelsey (Vista 64) eSata, Eric (Vista 32), and Dorene which has been newly configured with a 500 GB Seagate 7200.12 and is now running 64 bit Win 7 (quite an upgrade compared to the XP/5400 rpm IDE). Wait, that can't be right - I couldn't... -

duh, no eSata port on Eric, so won't be able to easily make that comparison. -

The SSDs do look fantastic for this type of application - when the prices become reasonable. Thinking about that, I don't feel too bad about "wasting” the unneeded capacity of the 7200.12 500 GB drive. Once the SSDs come down to reasonable prices, I can put one in Dorene and move the fast 500... -

00Roush yep, I should be able to move the eSata to Eric and run the tests, will take me a through the end of the weekend to get a chance top do it. I'm wishing that I had started looking at all of this stuff and established benchmarks before putting that older 160 GB in Kelsey. (I do have... -

wathman, thanks for the Win 7 feedback. Here's the manual Win Explorer copy data for Kelsey eSata (WDC WD5001AALS-00L3B Caviar black ) and the WHS Single 1 GB file Kelsey (Vista 64) eSATA to WHS 56 MB/S - maintained speed throughout copy WHS to Kelsey (Vista 64) eSATA 30 MB/S - initiated... -

Nevermind that last question. On reflection, it's primarily the read performance off of the WHS that's going to impact performance when moving through a Photoshop Elements Catalog and pulling up a file to edit. Same for Lightroom, with a little more emphasis on the local machine since the... -

So the Eric system is performing pretty much as good as it will get with the current hard drive? Wow, there is a huge difference between the single 1 GB file transfer versus the 351 files totally 1GB (the latter being more typical usage for my systems right now) – 50 versus mid 20’s MB/S... -

Local IOZone Tests yep, I probably have Cool & Quite enabled. Will have to check into it. ok, ran the local IOZone tests on all of my systems last night. Results are attached. The first is a plot of Read results, the 2nd is Write results and the third is a summary of the machines and the... -

Jay_S & 00Roush, thanks for all of your help. I'll get local IOZone tests run in the next couple of days. My objective in all of this is just make sure my set-up is not unnecessarily hamstrung. I don't need to tweak the maximum performance out of it, just want to make sure my stock Camero... -

Thanks. I'll try those suggestions as I gat a chance to tinker this week. I would like to create a table of measured HD performance and target throughput for all of my systems. Then I could see how close each is so that I'm not wasting everyone's time on chasing diminishing returns. As a get... -

If I can get these issues sorted out, I may need to put a better drive in Kelsey since I pirated the better 500 GB drives out of her system to build the WHS. Ok, a couple of plots (full sacle and expanded) from two IOZone runs from Eric to WHS today (with read/write data from 18-Sep for... -

Updated the drivers on Eric (Vista 32) and WHS. No significant difference in Windows Explorer file copy speed. Tried a single file 1GB copy versus same files as 351 inviduals in a folder. Single 1GB file transfered at 50 MB/Sec versus 26 for the collection. Obviously nothing is simple... -

Awesome, Here's the JPerf output (Kbits/sec) with TCP Window Size set to 64 K. So, does this mean that I need to set my Vista and XP systems to 64 K TCP Window size? (or determine optimal if I get really adventeruous)? (and update the drivers that I can find) Thanks, John... -
