    Crucial DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) unstable at stock speed.

    Got me G.Skill DDR2 800 with 5-5-5-15 and it has run at 800MHz with no problems for the past 24 hours. No more Crucial for me, G.Skill all the way.

    RAID 5 external hard drive 6TB recommendation

    Just built it. IT'S FAST. 100MB/s write, twice the speed of FW800. I get 70MB/s on my SATA 3.0Gbps single hard drives when transferring files from the RAID 5, so the read rate is fast too. PS: Mini SAS cable are expensive, 2m cable is $75-$100 each.

    egale: Yes I've tried DDR2 800 with 5-5-5-18 and memory voltage at auto. I get BSoD after a few minutes of usage. Mr Fox: Thanks for the info, There's nothing in the manual that mentions downclocking on DDR2 800 CL 4 but it mentions downclocking on DDR2 667 CL4 and DDR2 533 CL3, I guess they...

    Discrepancy in transfer speed through Direct Connection

    I use drag and drop via windows explorer. The speed is monitored by DU meter. My situation is similar to yours, 2003 --> Vista slow, both push and pull. I may try FTP using Filezilla. Did it solve your problem? Is 2003 --> Vista fast now when using FTP?

    Discrepancy in transfer speed through Direct Connection

    Both network connections are set to 1.0 Gbps. I set Windows Vista to 1000 Mbps Full duplex but there's no Advanced tab in Configure panel of the NIC in Windows Server 2003. In the manual of Intel PRO 1000, it says "Per the IEEE specification, gigabit speed cannot be forced. It can only be...

    RAID 5 external hard drive 6TB recommendation

    Thanks for the recommendation but I've already purchased EnhanceBOX E8 MS (Mini SAS) http://www.enhance-tech.com/pr...desktop/E8_Series.html The website mentions that mini-SAS has the best performance while PM has the lowest, why is that?
