I concur with all your conclusions and welcome to the forum
Also agreed with the above.
+ Welcome.
Need a fast file server (iscsi) for an Oracle RAC database. Have been considering using Openfiler. Its a free (opensource) OS built on linux that offers a web gui to set up smb,nfsv3,iscsi,ftp,http/webdav,CIFS,Rsync. It also allows user quotas, LUNs, ethernet line bonding etc.
Wondering if anyone had any experience using this software?
Also need a fast nic for rac nodes and storage have been looking at "Intel ET gigabit nic (Intel 82576 controller)" or "HP NC382T nic (broadcom 5709 controller)" anyone used either or these and can recommend or advise against?
Thanks

Id personally use Intel cards over broadcom cards. However, ive used both these cards with out problems, but i find the intels do perform a little bit better.

Dont suppose anyone can recommend good NAS software thats free, easy to setup, has built in torrent downloading support, and media streaming to things like the xbox360 and computers and any other obvious things that i might have missed.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I bought some cheap 85mbit homeplug adapters to connect my brothers '360 upstaires as the wireless in my house doesn't give a good enough signal in his lounge.
Anyway, these things only transfering about 1.95-2.15MB/s so not very quick. However, I was quite happilly watching Rambo 1080p on his '360 and whilst all the action was going on there was a hardly unnoticable pause, but apart from that it played quite well!
Er, no. I've got a blu ray 720p rip that requires about 50 Mbps at peak, so you might just get 2, but 5, no chance.
I've ran my own tests, and x264 1080p takes around 2MB/s at peak, with plenty of action, 720p is around 1MB/s peak, 700KB/s average.
So yes, a 100Mb connection could run 5 x264 1080p streams.
You must be playing back uncompressed mpeg-2 rips or something, which is a bit of a waste of space.
You should be able to get 40-50mbit (5-6MB/s) throughput on 85mbit homeplug, but it does depend on the quality of the household wireing, and dont try to run them through surge protectors, as the protectors filter out about 80% of the usable "bandwidth"
I've got the homeplug that connectors directly in to my switch plugged in to a surge protector which is probably why I only get a low speed. The only reason its plugged in to a surge protector is because I have the surge protector screwed on to the backboard of my parents PC's desk to hide all the power cables (and it hides the network cable as there is a switch on the backboard too).
I am not too worried about the slow speed as its only used for xbox live gaming and the occasional tv ep (but still works fine with 1080p). I might look in to relocating it to see if I can get a better speed, but as you've said it could still be hindered by the houses wiring.

Having trouble getting high speeds over windows shares, using iperf I can max out the bandwidth with a 256KB window, I've set this in the lan adapter using regedit but I am still struggling to pull more than 300Mbit when copying files between XP machines.
Any help?
