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...

WHS primary drive

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...

WHS Disk Usage The primary is 23% full and the two 500 GB drives are each 36% used.
