I've been paying attention to these boards every couple days and havent seen a download link or announcement that v8 is available, even in beta form. Did I miss something?

Excited to test it out once released. Thanks for your responses.

Of course, very understandable. I was just surprised after not using the product for a short while to come back and trying to set my cache at 2048 wasn't working. Unlimited might be unreasonable, but a few GBs would be nice. Take it for what it's worth. Thanks again,

The last time I tested the software there was no limit to cache. I kept recreating my devices today thinking I was creating them incorrectly because i couldn't get past 512MB in write back cache, even though in the wizard I could set whatever I wished. In my lab I definitely don't need the HA featur...

Sorry, in my edit at the end of the post I mentioned it was a NIC connecting at 100Mbps. That one was throwing everything off. Ended up being a bad cable in this instance. Thanks again for taking the time.

That did the trick! Thanks so much. Seeing great numbers now over 2x1Gbps mpio between the server and initiator. Thanks,

Starwind Server: IP1: 10.30.0.5 IP2: 10.30.1.5 Device: Asynch Mode - Yes Target: Allow Multiple - Yes Initiator: IP1: 10.30.0...

Thanks for the reply. Your activity on these forums definitely makes this an attractive product. Thanks,

Any word on this as yet? I've been evaluating starwind and find that I am unsure exactly how much cache to allocate to a disk knowing i can't change it later on. A global setting would be perfect. Thanks,
