I really hope they change some day... Until then, I just see Dell

The problems I've been dealing with have been on the *650s. They're the ones

Our machine it's a Dell Server Power Edge 1600sc (Xeon 2,4Ghz, with 1GB
memory, 7200 RPM disk). I don't think that there is a machine problem

during the restore is around 30%.
