Well, the connection I'll be getting is either 200Mb/sec or 500Mb/sec.
It's blazingly fast. They also offer 1Gb/sec as well but my hard drives
need room to breath. lol So, if I leave the 100Mb/sec card in and use
it, it will be the bottleneck for my network. Right now, the connection
to the puter is the last upgrade I'll need to be ready to surf like
lightening.
I learned my lesson on SMR a while back. I googled and made sure it was
a CMR drive before I ordered it. I had to pass by some SMRs to find a
good deal that was CMR tho. I don't plan to move data just add the
drive as extra space. Adding it to LVM should be easy enough. Sort of
thought about switching to BTFRS (sp?) but just not sure. LVM is
working well for me at the moment.
I'm excited about this new internet deal.
