Rebyte File Server Performance 1

Hello there! I am a reByte dealer and have been using reByte's (tm) for quite some time. It is super easy to use and I think that as long as you build a decent box you should have no problems with 50 MB files. I have backed up GIGS of data with one of my reByte systems on a 100 base network and have noticed no traffic issues.
The reByte system will work perfecly since you are using it in an environment of 12-15 users. RAID will be used, get atleast (2) 200GB disks and you are good to go. You might want to consider using a gigabit nic in the box too, with a 1000 base switch to keep load off the network... just an idea. Have the reByte do daily (or more) backups will make your "end users" extra happy since they'll never have to worry about their data being aced. The reByte can also be mapped so files can be uploaded with ease.
If you have any other questions, need a rebyte system built or want to save a few bucks on ordering a reByte kit, take a look at my site:
You'll like the reByte, super easy to setup and deploy! Just plain awesome IMO!

Hey there... a reByte based file server is perfect for a small business. You should have no problem with 15 users (or even more) as long as you use decent ardware.
My company builds network backup devices using the reByte OS and we clients as large as 100 users being backed up with no problems. Also we've built and deployed some units over 1TB. The key is to use high quality components.
Good luck!

Thanks for your input. After talking to Mike, I decided I was interested in becoming a rebyte dealer myself up here in Canada, but I wanted to know from someone else if the thing is as good as it sounds.
Actually I was thinking of setting my first one up with a raid 5 of 4 x 160GB drive as the main file server with a secondary similar server in the vault as a secure backup of that server, in case the place burns down.
I glad to hear that the peformance is good with these. I do appreciate your input. I was beginning to despair of hearing from anyone.

Hello to all -
I just installed my reByte and everything works great, except I'm having a bit of a problem figuring out permissions for folders. I'm using reByte as a fileserver. I RTFMed and I still can't get the user passwords to kick in. Any help?
