May 26, 201016 yr does any one know if unraid works with fibre channel networks? I was thinking of upgrading my ethernet network to that.
May 26, 201016 yr I don't believe unraid has support for fibre channel networks. Even if it did, you wouldn't see much speed benefit - unraid already doesn't even max out gigabit ethernet.
May 28, 201016 yr Author I'm interested in what you mean about unraid not giving the full gigabit ethernet... Is that a limitation of the program? I understand that you'll never get the full 1000mbps in a network. If I were ever to upgrade to 10GBE for example would i see an increase in speed, or does unraid cap off at some point under 1gb?
May 28, 201016 yr In typical unRAID systems, the hard drive speeds (30-44 MB/s writes, 60-110 MB/s reads) are below the limits of Gigabit networking.
May 28, 201016 yr It has been my experience that i can transfer disk to disk within MC much faster than via a gigabit network. This speed being much less than the network is capable of. IMHO there is another bottleneck somewhere.
