Indeed, 10G ethernet over twisted-pair copper (CAT6/6a) has *worse* latency than 1G ethernet over twisted-pair copper. (But 10G ethernet with SFP+ and twinax cables is faster) However, unless you are using SSDs, hard drive seek times are likely to be the limiting factor. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list [email protected] http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
