Ummm Were you not paying attention?
I know that somewhere in all of that I said the numbers were representative of the 2x00 units also (just not the RAID 5 parts)? I know I said it... The 4000 and the 2000 use the same main board in some cases and the same speed CPU, which is the limiting factor here for the most part. So those numbers do apply to "
those of us who aren't running them". Yup, I am pretty sure I said that somewhere. The only place they don't apply is the 1x00 units due to their slower CPU. Wait, I said that too.
Also, the majority of the numbers I gave there were using SMB, not FTP. You know, like for data tansfers for a central repository of several hundred gigabytes of GIS/Map/Reference data that a person could say access from different machines they work from. I am pretty sure I said that too.
Ya know David, sometimes I wonder why I even try.
