MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.1 X-Originating-IP: 10.161.65.249 Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings. Does anyone know if a NFS server with a 7200RPM IDE HD will perform significantly better than a 5400RPM IDE HD over a cable connection? I'm assuming that the performance will only be noticable iff the NFS client is close(geographically) to the NFS server, i.e. same LAN since the bottleneck would be at the network level. Also, if the 5400RPM IDE HD was RAIDed, would that match an unRAIDed 7200RPM IDE HD? Thanks in advance. ______________________________________________________________________ Jay Sern Liew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
