i searched but couldnt find anything similar to my problem...
heres my server setup
antecp180b
antec truepower 550
pcchips matx mobo w/amd 2600+
1gb ram
gigabit nic
ati radeon 7000 64mb
4 harddrives:
WD 120gb-main OS drive
WD 200gb-FTP drive
WD 250gb-movies n music
Seagate 300gb-movies n TV
it seems that whenever i try to transfer any files to the seagate drive, the CPU goes to 100% and it takes FOREVER to transfer the files
does this sound like a failing harddrive or some other bad hardware?
i have a couple extra socket478 boards lyin around, i could just rebuild my server with one of those...but i feel i would need a better cpu than the 1.5 and 1.8ghz celery thats in the boards now
i really hate rebuilding my server...i try to only do it once every couple of years, but if it looks like that will speed up the performance, then im game
