I've tried to copy 3gig of archives over the net and I could not copy it after 3 attempts. Same time I've un-tarred those files locally on that server successfully after my 1st attempt. Any recommendations on what ~ 30 buck SATA card works OK with 6.1? I may opt out to take this one back and replace, unless someone willing to nail this down - I'm open for tests...
