I am looking for suggestions on increasing the network read/write speed for my DrivePool.
I am currently using four 600GB 10k RPM drives as feeder drives - striped on a Highpoint 2720 controller. (2 drives per stripe set) Most of the rest of the pool is on a Highpoint 2740.
I'm not sure of the best way to approach this and am looking for suggestions.
I am thinking that NIC teaming might be somewhere to start? Or maybe it's time to be looking at fiber?
At the moment I am using several cheap gigabit switches that I will be consolidating to a larger, more intelligent switch.
The motherboard has an Intel 82576 dual GB controller but I will be upgrading to a Supermicro X10DRI-O shortly.

Hey Guys -- Sorry to bail on this thread so long ago. After I read it Mr. Drashna got me thinking.... Let's say this: It appears that it's a bad idea to have every piece of network hardware in t

OK, Gotcha. Time to start trolling E-Bay. As I said before, I'm not much of a hardware guy so .... ummmm... Two 10GB NIC's, one for each Norco box... Two Mini GBIC's for the Cisco SG200?
