help connecting four hdd

Well you COULD if you set them up in RAID0. According to what Sam says each HDD has 70MPS writing capability. Theoretically having two HDDs in RAID0 will up that to 140. Combined that with gigabit LAN you should see speed improvements.

 

I think you mean RAID1, RAID 0 would see the 2 150GBs as 1 300GB.

 

I messed up a LITTLE bit lol.

RAID0 WILL improve performance, but yes you will see the ntire 300GB. My bad.

 

Yes, by making 2 disks into one logical disk you have doubled your I/O. You can get 500 SATA with about 150 meg/sec I/O for about 100 USD.

What is your gigabit LAN?

 

Most Sata drives are Sata2, which is capable of 300Gbps.

 

I thought it was 3GBPS and SATA1 was 1.5GBPS

 

We are both wrong this time. It's 3Gbps. Giga bits, not bytes. That's 375MBps.

 

Ah, thanks. It was confusing me seeing the Gbps thinking "how can it possibly be GigaBytes per second!"
