Have my new N7700 setup with 5 x Western Digital Green 1,5TB disks in RAID 5, running XFS filsystem and strip size 1024kB. Building the raid probaly took about 6 hours.
On my PC im running Windows XP SP3, everything is connected with a gigabit network.
The problem is that I seem to get about the same transfer speed as my N5200, 20-30MB/s when dealing with large files over the network (samba). Unraring a big file on the Thecus N7700 seems to take about the same time as the N5200, no big difference.
I was hoping for a big perfomance differens but I dont seem to get the speeds I was reading about in reviews, why not? I want more speed thats why I upgraded...
