Recent benchmarks on that very same version of Samba by Ziff-Davis people (Cnet and the like) report that Samba EXCEEDS Win2K and WinXP in xfer speeds. You have something wrong with your setup. --- I'm not going to get into the so called "raid" setup you are using... Which is another problem altogether... -JMS
