Didn’t know you could write to disk at 20G/second.

“Didn’t know you could write to disk at 20G/second.”

Most computers can’t push their 100 mb (point-1 G) network connection to its limit for more than a few seconds — the hard drive isn’t fast enough.

Many newer computers have a 1G/sec network connection, but for the most part, no one notices any speed difference over their network from the previous point-1G/sec card. Assuming that the network card was 1G/sec, I’m wondering how this user knew she was getting all of that speed?

This story doesn’t make sense, another in a long line of superspeed stories by people who want the gov’t to help them run fiber to your house.

You can if you have enough disks and stripe it. Takes a lot of disks though ;-)
