That seems slow for a single drive, let alone a raid setup.
IMHO that's pretty fast for a software RAID5 setup!

WHS throughput is a lot less than 50 MB/S

"To test out the I/O throughput, I copied ~100GB of video from my Vista box to the WHS machine. Sustained throughput was around 22 MB/second. Both machines have GB LAN cards and SATA II disks. Watching the network throughput in Task Manager, the data transfer was bursty in roughly minute intervals, alternating between moments of 50% net utilization and 15% utilization."

got a link? thx
Why would you think it would be any faster..or are you under some sort of illusion?
Writing to regular SATA drives has NEVER been fast..especially if there is any form overhead where other things are accessing the drive (like prepping for duplicaiton). 20-30 MByte/sec writes is fairly decent for a JBOD system doing full file copy. Reads...I can basically hit the potential of where the data is on the platter. Sorry...but linux boxes running JBOD won't do much better.

I've been running a WHS box (old version) for a little over a year now almost 24/7 - only restarts have been for windows updates. Vail looks nice, however I don't believe I will be upgrading. WHS is a very good simple server OS for people who need it, but I think I will be installing ubuntu on the box soon. WHS is too simple and limited for my needs.
