Tony,
I had a sneaking feeling it was my IDE transfers, thanks to you and edeng for your help, I will get my NAS box upgraded in the next couple of weeks, It was on my list of things to do
and see how a more up to date system copes with trying to transfer high speed high volume data, it is very impressive that NASlite transfers as well as it does with the old hardware and is a credit to all at Server Elements I am very pleased with the software side of things and never doubted NASlites ability to perform, but I'm asking too much of the hardware.
