Well, I wanted to see what Windows Home Server was like, and also took the opportunity to test whether or not my Vista desktop got faster network speeds reading from a WHS server as opposed to a Linux Samba server. Now as I said in my last post, read speeds were about 5-6Mb/s when copying from my Samba server to a Vista client. Surely I thought Microsoft’s own server OS would absolutely trample Samba in the mud.
Anyone want to take a guess at the speeds I got between my WHS test box and Vista? Same configuration, gigabit network all round, etc….
So in hindsight, maybe I was a little hasty to jump on the Vista is fucking with Samba bandwagon. There’s something obviously wrong with my Vista box, and I’m going to try and hunt it down.
