I really wouldn't worry about it. iSCSI or internal storage will do the job just fine for that workload.

What kind of access? Large files, small files, dedicated network? You have to give more of a complete scenario for anyone to be able to give you realistic guidance. There are no simple answers here. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 9:17 AM, justino garcia <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: okay thanks so if it were conneccted to 10 gbe network, and it was raid 0 two disks, on both the san and local controller.

That's not a simple question to answer. You left out several major implementation details in the form of the hardware and software configuration of the storage box. It might be faster. It might be slower. It might be the same.
