I work on Windows 7 ( 64 bit). When I attached a 35TB NAS storage as mapped drive to my workstation , the response of the OS seems to be get very sluggish. To compensate the slow response, I am using multi-threading, separating the GUI thread from the application
layer. I am using VC++ 2012 for my development. The OS response is slow even when no application is running on the system and no file is accessed from the NAS storage. Is there an upper recommended limit to external storage on Windows? Am I missing
anything here?
Even without a huge storage, Windows OS seems to freeze for a minute or so whenever any mapped drive is removed, as it tries to scan for the presence of drive. How can this be prevented ? Is it inherent with MS Windows ? Will Linux would be better in such
large storage scenarios?
