hmm , I have not only looked at nVdia ' website but many other websites , If we talk about premier pro the following link has some benchmarks http://ppbm5.com/MPE%20Charts.php looking at this GTX 580 performs better , now 3Ds MAX and Maya . Well I know Maya is very CPU intensive...

@RavenSEAL: Ok .. what about Quadro vs Tesla > Would I benefit from Tesla ?

Yes but the GPU architecture is almost same , with huge difference in price and customized drivers ... ! I need to understand the reason why quadro is superior ( price/performance ) thn any latest GTX card. I understand GTX being customized for gaming , quadro for workstation and tesla for gpu...

I am trying to Build a Workstation for 3D Rendering , The extent of work would include 3DS MAX , MaYa , Adobe Premier Pro and After effects cs5 - I need opinion choosing between Quadro or High End GTX card. I would be doing Loads of rendering and 3d Modelling , texturing Lightning and all...

The results for local Transfer was 103Mb , but have noticed these results fluctuate between 2 tests. another thing , When i monitored my drives during transfer , they show a Spike transfers rather then full capacity during the entire transfer, From my first post to now , i upgraded Dell firmware...

Thanks for the link , Did you update Deskstar's firmware to latest ? I havent checked the Adaptec Website for Harddrive support , but I am assuming this drive should be mentioned in their compatible list of drives. I am inclined on buying these or new 3Tb for another server build.

@classy : Did you optimize your raid card or configured raid on default setting ? ( I mean 64k Stripe size , Enable read Cache and son on- Raid Configs ) I believe these Deskstars are very raid friendly(unlike Green WD drives - which are not manufactured for Raid anyway) . do you have...

And .. This server is for Dumping HD content .. It would not be used like a File server , with people trying to retrieve information all the time .. only limited users ( 10 15 ) will have access to copy data to the server. ( one of the assumptions when i compared Green Drives- Performance for...

I have 2 Partitions , One for OS (Raid 1 ) and rest for Data ( Gpt , Raid 6 ) Normally i would transfer Render projects , animation files , High def content , Posters , Videos . Coming to other question I have to setup one more Server in similar capacity. This time i wana go right and select...

The max on Dell perc6i , i believe would be 512K , and minimum is as low as 8k . and i think 64-128k would be decent.

Yes , that is a relief , i am using 2008 and all partitions are made in 2008. would somebody enlighten me the optimum allocation size for gpt patitions? i hear so much about stripe cache size ( i have come to conclusion - larger stripe for big chunks of data and smaller for fast / small chunks...

read an article stating "The Windows Server® 2008 operating system attempts to align new partitions out of the box, yet disk partition alignment remains a relevant technology for partitions created on prior versions of the Windows® operating system."...

Mark ,What exact numbers are you looking at to determine performance...with all these benchmarks i need to know what exactly to look for as benchmark , and is it normal for write speeds to be this low as 103MB/s ( is there any formula ..) I heard alot about Raid allignment , how would that work ?
