      "500 (megabytes / second) = 4000 Mbps, not really sure what you didn't understand?"

      There you say bytes – b is bites not Bytes, is what was confusing to me..  if you say "500mb/sec " pretty much everyone on the planet would read that is bits not Bytes ;)

      And sure Xenserver is another type 1 option..  Much better than virtual box for something that is going to be a perm VM setup.

        Ahhhhh, lol. I figured if someone said mb/sec instead of mbps then you'd take it as mB, at least that's how I always do :)

          No B is Bytes, b is bits - that is how it is everywhere!!

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit

          the lower-case letter b is widely used as well and was recommended by the IEEE 1541 Standard (2002). In contrast, the upper case letter B is the standard and customary symbol for byte.

          doing /sec vs ps is 2 different ways to say the exact same thing per sec.

          So your doing it wrong ;)  And I can not believe you have ran into confusing before ;)
