drun7 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hello.. {censored}: I have many huge files in my 500GB HD which is Western-Digital 7200RPM. (More than 420GB is used space.. data of movies and softwares). It was NTFS but I realize that this file system is really slow.. (Also, I can't write except if I use a third party application). When I tried to move my data to another HD with Fat32 FileSystem I faced an old problem; each file should be smaller than 4GB. I used Mac OS Extended Journaled file system instead. It's fast and perfect. The Subject: Now I have a new 1TB HD (7200RPM) which I'm going to use for Data only and it will be a shared HD. I heard about Xsan 2 (Storage Area Network) file system and I want to try it. (where can I find it?) Is Xsan good for me as a regular user? (Home Network).
