The hard disk isn't really the problem.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> It's that you can't really fill 2,5Gbps with anything.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> No server will give you this much b/w <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>(and p2p doesn't even come close)<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
I wonder where this thing connects to on the pc.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> USB 2 <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>=<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> 480Mbps,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> PCI <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>=<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> 133*8=1Gbps are not enough,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> so you need a network card <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>(not ethernet but something with more b/w)<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> on a pci-express slot.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
