I have a DroboPro that is currently connected to a GS748TS switch. Also connected to the switch is a server and few workstations.

Which method would be better in performance?

  1. Add a NIC to the server. Direct connect the DroboPro via iSCSI to the new NIC.

  2. Add a NIC to the server. Create a dedicated VLAN for the new NIC and Drobo.

  3. Add a NIC to the server and attach it to a separate switch. DroboPro connects to the switch. Becomes a private network, similar to a VLAN.

    • DroboPro has a single ethernet connection.
    • Server has a single ethernet connection (currently).
    • Workstations each have a single ethernet connection.
