Asked by Maxwellb in Miscellaneous Networking, Hard Drives & Storage, Computer Servers
Hi Experts,
I have an Adaptec 64 bit PCI RAID card that supports 4 SATA drives - only problem is I don't have a motherboard that supports 64 bit PCI handy. I'm building this to be a NAS server running Openfiler and will be primarily used for an archival / backup of media and maybe a VMWare ESXi iSCSI target tesbed. Since all the read / writes will be taking place via gigabit ethernet, would the 32 bit PCI slot really be a bottleneck? Or would the Gig E be the bottleneck?
Thanks!
