I would expect Gigabit isn't your issue, but cheap switches can be *really* nasty, particularly when the device is completely dependent on the network. Over on the Samba mailing lists, we find the many of our user's 'samba bugs', often with issues as serious as data corruption are due to cheap/bad network equipment (cards, cables, switches). If something breaks mid-stream, bad things will happen! Andrew Bartlett
