    Hi,

    We need a serious advice and solution for the mentioned subject. We Also tried demo software (full functionality) a Storage OS from OPEN-E, But Some how we are not getting the expected speed.
    We tested with 10 Drive as Raid 0 and getting around 800Mbs Read Write, Where as when we tested 10 Dirves Raid in windows standalone system (Just to check) and we were getting around 1800 Plus Mbs. We are using Black Magic Design Speed Test Utility with 5GB file size.

    We have the 3 Machines with following hardware/software specs and need to connect.

    System A – (Want to have this as shared Storage)
    – Windows 2012 R2 / Windows 2012 Storage Server.
    – 16GB RAM, 24 Port Raid Controller with 24 Seagate 4TBDrives.
    – Qlogic QLE2672 Gen5 Dual Port 16GB HBA

    System B – (Want to connect to the Share storage)
    – Use – Running Davinci Resolve color grading System for Feature film works (Demanding Read Write 16Bit RGB DPX image sequence)
    – Windows 8.1 64bit Pro
    – 32Gb RAM, 2 TB System Drive
    – ATTO 16GB Fiber HBA

    System C – (Want to connect to the Share storage)
    – Use – Running Davinci Resolve color grading System for Feature film works (Demanding Read Write 16Bit RGB DPX image sequence)
    – Windows 8.1 64bit Pro
    – 32Gb RAM, 2 TB System Drive
    – ATTO 16GB Fiber HBA
