First, the switch is a 2624 not 2324. And I use Robocopy (manual command line for DVD rips, scheduled nightly batch job for HDTV) to copy stuff as I found out long ago that drag and drop in Windows Explorer tended to frequently corrupt pictures and video. Results of iPerf:

I have a wired home network with 12 desktops, 1 Xbox360, 1 Wii, and 2 servers all running through a Dell Powerconnect 2624 (edited from 2324) gigabit switch. A Linksys 310wrt router is connected to a port for Internet.
1 server is a Windows Home Server (6TB file server and backup storage)...

I could not get my 4 Seagate 1.5TB 7200.11 drives to work on RAID 0, 0+1, or 5 on an nVidia 750i raid controller. They work fine separately or in RAID 1. They even work as RAID 0 under Windows XP software RAID if I disable the RAID controller and use the drives individually. I am pretty sure it...
I bought 4 of these (1.5TB) for a RAID 0+1 array to replace my 4 Western Digital 500GB in a RAID 0 array when 1 WD failed after 3 months. I have 9 Seagate 320GB drives running several machines and have not had any problems. This was my second WD drive to fail after a short period, so I think the...
