Help my stuttering problem, please!
I use WHS 2011. I have 8 hard drives plus my os on an SSD. The 8 drives are pooled using DrivePool. For the most part, I use the server to stream media around the house.
Everything worked beautifully until a couple months ago, when we started getting stuttering every time we stream a movie. Tonight I tried watching a movie, and I also had my laptop with a remote desktop connection to my server and the performance monitor open. Between stutters, everything was humming along just fine. But when the stutter hit, bam, just like clockwork, the disk usage shot up to 100% for a moment. Then the usage drops back down and the movie played fine for a minute until the next stutter.
I've searched for some tips on this issue, but most of the posts seem to focus on the demigrator problem with the old WHS (I assume that's not an issue since I'm using WHS 2011).
This stuttering defeats the main purpose of the server. Please help!!!
