After reading a thread here, I decided to check out WHS.
For now, it's installed on a machine with a single 500 gig drive, and a gigabit nic.
At first, throughput was fine (40 MB/s) while putting stuff on the server. However, after a little while, I noticed that my network utilization dropped to 3%, and copies were obviously CRAWLING. At this point, there was only about 150 gigs of data on the disk.
I did a bunch of google searches, and turned up an issue where WHS can slow to a crawl when it decides to move stuff from the landing zone to another disk to make room...However, I've only got a single disk in this box, so I don't know what it might be doing...
I tried restarting the server, no help.
I tried copying data to another gigabit machine on the network from the same client...right up where it should be...FAST. So, it's only moving data to the WHS that is slow.
Any thoughts? I'm glad I'm only on a trial version, because right now it looks like it's a no-go.
Thanks.
