It works out to more like 10:1 rather than 8:1 I think. Yes, I know, 8 bits per Byte, but there is some kind of parity or something going on there also if I remember right (maybe one of the networking guys can clear this up). Anywise, 3 things to ask here at this point.

1) For one of you IT networking gurus out there, what is the actual limit to be expected on a 100baseT network (full duplex)? Now I am not talking SNAP, and I am not talking theory. I am talking about real world use on two systems capable of max throughput of the network. How fast can be expected on 100baseT?

2) If the cache is changed, will it stay changed, or will it go back to default if you power off the SNAP? Is it saved in the settings somewhere?

3) What about the RAID stripe itself? Can the stripe size be changed and would it help any with these larger drive sizes?
