I am sorry, I did not provide any statistics of the machine involved. CPU - 8 cores with each core 2327 MHz RAM - 16GB Afair its has 7200RPM disk - 2TB.
One disk.... you might consider a striped array to get disk speed. 50 megabytes per second stresses most disks pretty hard - not to the limit. But if there is a lot of seeking involved as well as multiple copies of the files being made as they pass through the system I can see how it'd be a little rough on the disk throughput. {^_^}
