[Leica] [Leica} Tina's Drobos... Update

[Frank Filippone]

I have done this a few times.... and having done it, JBOD is THE way to go.

Anything to do with LANs is just a minefield waiting to happen.

The only real advantage to LANs is that they are incredibly fast compared to USB.   With 1,000,000 files to sort through, it seems the right way to go.

Tina uses LR sort features to find a photo she is looking for.  Any speed improvement is a good thing.

This box, an 8 bay model, is no harder to install than a 32bay but it as a long time ago, it was not remotely done, and it was not my computer i was working on.... SO it took a while to get it right.

I got time....

>> This trick effectively doubled the copy speed.... 2 copy sources at the same time.
