I've just bought one of these :-
to send some data I've rocovered back to a SP member, just dumped 150Gb off my SAN @ 180MB/S, I only have a 2GBs line to my switch so I am not sure that wasn't a fabric speed transfer.... Perhaps USB 3.0 does work!!!!! |

USB 3.0 is always a nice surprise after putting up with 2.0 for so long!
Some of the more expensive 3.0 flash sticks can give some crazy numbers too

I get 180MB/s on my USB3 pen drive… when the computer the USB3 is attached to is good enough and isn't doing loads of other stuff.
It's still slower than FW800 though |

SAN is a storage area network, if gives multiple servers (or clients) file system level access to storage, NAS is Network Attached Storage, so the filer on the NAS head controls access to the media, with a SAN a client could format a volume, with NAS that can't happen as the data is served up in client friendly format with protocal abstraction ( the nas could be connected to a SAN, but the client only sees the SMB or CIFS share that the NAS dishes out, with a SAN if I format a volume as NTFS, every client mounted to that volume sees an NTFS drive, with a NAS they wouldn't have a clue what the underlying format is.
In theory SAN offers speed advantages over NAS as the data on the FC (or iSCSI) network is packed up nicely for storage and not a generic IP packet, in practice with the gear I can afford to use at home 10GB/s LAN would wallop my SAN, but I can't boot from LAN (easily)... |

The electricity bill isn't nice, I am amazed i have never had a visit for Growing, never ANY snow on my roof and high sparky bills... Perhaps it is because I forget to pay them until teh red demand appears they think I am too poor to be growing
