Wow, 80Mbps (assuming b=bit, B=byte convention). I really like to see how this compares in terms of aggregate speed for 50000 20KB files (same amount of data) since we don't do a lot of 1GB file transfers :) It would be even more interesting to run the test in two ways, first the same file to consider cacheing, and a second time with a slight file modification to eliminate cache effects. I'd contribute this if we had a NetApp. ============================================================================ Jeffrey A.
