Poor performance for end user using MS Backup to backup server data to laptop. Process is taking 4 times as long as on Previous Proliant 1600 (166 Mhz, 256 MB RAM).

Never use raid5 on nt4 System drive!! <BR />Use Raid 1 for NT System drive!! Use Raid 5 only for Filesystem. <BR />Raid5 with 3 Drive hase a poor performance at write. Nt4 write every time!
