You'll likely get a lot more performance for your money by adding RAM; and after that, faster disks. If you already have a GB NIC, you're almost certainly outstripping disk performance, especially with the calculations and comparisons BackupPC does to data before writing it to disk. The only way I can see that not being the case is if you're running some high-end SSD. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
