Hi.

Having lost several hard drives this year to defects I'm seriously considering moving the contents of my 2x4TB secondary storage to a zfs nas.

The pc runs windows 7/64 and the main drive is an SSD. I do though do a lot of photo editing, and some (compressed standard resolution) video editing from the HDDs.

I'm aware that the HDDs are probably able to give me up to 150MB/s whereas filesharing over a lan will be constrained by the 1 GbE lan to 100MB/s, but I'm thinking I could probably live with that.

What I might not be able to live with though is stories that Windows file shares will max out /well/ below that -- I'm reading here of 40MB/s, which might be a problem.

Is there any way at all of getting a shared file system working closer to 100MB/s?
