Can you explain why the 50% rule is a good rule? Why isn't it 10Mbit/sec?


There was another thread on this topic not long ago. It mostly boils down to the speed of the Empeg's IDE interface, which maxes out at around 700KBytes/sec for ordinary purposes. 700 * 8bits/byte = 5.6 mbit/sec, then subtract some for packet overhead/reality etc..

Direct drive-to-drive would be faster, as that completely bypasses the Empeg software and avoids network packet overheads.
