<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; color: #000000'>Hi,<br><br>Here's a weird one that I haven't seen before. I figured I'd throw the scenario out here before I did too much research, in case anyone knows what's going on.<br><br>I used to have Live TV on a samba share across GB ethernet to a raid5 array. I lost the array and bought a Drobo as a quick replacement. I threw the Drobo on a Mac Mini and shared it via samba and have working livetv, etc. <br><br>I rebuilt my array and once again shared it via samba.<br><br>If I put live TV on the samba shared raid array, the video is splotchy and stuttering. If I put it on the Drobo, it's fine.<br><br>The Drobo/samba combo transfers data at about 16 MB/s, the RAID5/samba combo transfers data at about 35 MB/s. I'm not sure why I'm getting issues on the faster share.<br><br>Any ideas?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Gerald<br><br></div></body></html>
