    Hello

    "This is my configuration and my test and i ask your advice."

    is my configuration right ?

    are these performances correct for this hardware/configuration ?

    is there some tips/hints to know for open-e beginners ?

    do i really need to change/adjust iscsi parameters (MaxBurstLength, ect...)

    Thanks
