Hello, I have a photo studio, we edit images on two computers … ‘Production’ and ‘Printer’. The images are on usb/firewire external drives attached to the production computer. I want to speed things up as much as I can since the lag time can really add up and affect our work flow. Our images range from 50MB to 400 MB. The printer computer is attached via ethernet network that I just upgraded to gigabit, nics and switch – it cut the load time in half.
Does anyone have experience with any additional speed by changing from our cat5e cable to cat6?
Any other recommendations for boosting speed?
I realize that if I move my images to a nas or some other system it will be slower on the Production computer, but if it is quicker on the Printer computer and there is an average net gain then I am interested 🙂
Thanks, any help is very much appreciated!
