WTF? Where do you draw your conclusions on the brands of hardware I use? That's a ridiculous assumption. Granted I don't use top of the line Cisco switches for my HOME network but I do use some passable 3Com. I swore off Linksys/SMC/Netgear some time ago. Now that I've valiantly defended my home network, lets move on (LOL).
If he's streaming any decent video 1mbit is not enough. Why don't we just have him use some shoe string and tin cans while he's at it? Anyways, I'm going to stop making assumptions. I suggest you do the same.
This post is ignant. How are you going to tell me that I can't notice a difference between 11mbit and 100mbit? Try transferring a CD image over 11mbit(which in reality ends up being around 3mbit). It's painful.
Now we've moved up to DVD images.. and pushing those over 100mbit is painful as well. Even gigabit only doubles your speed, it's worth it considering current market prices.
So wait.. you're saying the software raid was twice as fast as the hardware raid card? That seems kinda crazy to me.
How would you go about hooking up like 16 drives anyways?
Well the company I was working at was going through the whole re-org process. I had survived two rounds of heavy layoffs. Fortunately for me after the second round I had decided to get back into school and cut back my hours at work.
I was good buds with my bosses so I knew from the rumor mill that there were going to be layoffs that day. My boss wouldn't tell me who, even though he had always done so before. So I knew something was up. When my boss suggested we all go out to lunch on his dime, I knew for sure. I told them I knew I was getting fired but just got a grimacing look and a shrug in return. I kept trying to convince myself that I didn't really care.
Later that day my manager pulled me into the server room and let me go. He was really cool about it, didn't have HR escort me out. Just sent me down there on my own. Meanwhile others got police escort.:) Gotta admit though, getting fired hurts no matter what the circumstances are. The CEO kissing my shoe might have helped.
I still keep in contact and do some occassional work for them.
