David, Why "replica 6"? That means you're keeping a copy of each file physically on each server. So if writing the file file to one takes 10 seconds, writing the file to a second takes another 10 seconds, and so on, that kind of makes sense. You can't transfer a single file to two places as fast as to one. Having more than two copies of any single file is unusual. Having more than three - I'm not sure why anyone would do that for local storage. Whit
