Hi -
Mostly by accident, I just noticed that I can essentially max out my 720 over 100bT on writes.
[...]
Is this normal for a 720?
Looks normal to me.
OK. I didnn't expect quite that level of activiy. After thinking about it some, though, it does make sense.
I don't forsee 5 saturated 100Bt connections in the near future, but... this does make me wonder about scaling
Well, unless you think you're going to have 5 clients all writing 20+ MB files at the exact same time regularly, and they can't stand to wait a few seconds for those writes to complete, I don't see the problem.
I'm probably going to stay concerned until proven wrong, but the point is response time. I think I'm OK, I just didn't expect a client to monopolize the entire bandwidth.
By and large, "I withdraw the question."
I should sleep more.
