[QUOTE="jasonwc, post: 807400, member: 96147"] I don't have any Antivirus software installed on the file server because it doesn't execute any 3rd party software other than Hamachi that provides VPN access. Is Windows Security Essentials downloaded by Windows Update automatically? I have recommended updates including security patches installed automatically. Basically, it's a standard Windows Home Server 2011 (based upon Windows Server 2008 R2) install with FlexRAID for Snapshot RAID + Storage pooling. However, I don't think FlexRAID is the cause since I get the same behavior even when I access movies from their individual drives, bypassing the storage pool. I could disable the FlexRAID service to be certain. I should also say that I routinely transfer tens or hundreds of GBs of files over the network, download via uTorrent to the file server, unrar data to the file server, stream movies/tv using Mediaportal, and run RDP sessions tunneled through the Remote Desktop Gateway on the server. None of these activities results in excessive memory usage. I can move one or two of the drives housing movies to my desktop tomorrow. That way I can test importing movies from a local disk on a different system with completely different hardware. [/QUOTE]
