I’ve a small server built up and tested at home with CentOS 5.4. The largest files i’ve worked with so far are about 16GB full system images from backups and some video editing projects. I’ve not had a problem yet. Access, copy, writing speeds all seem to be fine, but that’s a limited diagnosis as I’ve not done much at all.

Hope this helps!

I should have clarified. The purpose of that server now is a file server. It services 7 wired devices as well as a handful of wireless.
