I don't have access to the server nor do the network guys willing to
admit there's something wrong with the server. Frustrating both me and
the local IT guy. But thanks for confirming that low disk space has
nothing to do with slow access. One thing I did notice that when
editing a photo that 'Save a copy' just went into an endless loop but
when I close the window, the file was saved fine. Sounded like some
kind of 'complete' message wasn't getting through.
Thanks...Steve

What's the NIC/CPU/Hard drive utilization on the server?

Ok, I need some advice from people I trust. The company I work for
had transitioned from in-house IT to Bell Technologies, so we
obviously swimming in 'tickets'. We have a main data drive on the
network, the 'K' drive and I've had a ticket in for about 8 months
now on slow transfers. The symptoms are this: When transferring a
number of files from a laptop/desktop, there will be data transfer
for about 1 to 2 seconds, then 20 to 30 seconds of nothing. Rinse
and repeat. I've also noticed that if you transfer a single file,
most of the time it will transfer 99%, then you have 20 to 30 seconds
of waiting until it finishes.
Now to the question. I've just been told that slow transfers happen
when there is low disk space. Obviously we have a lot of users
accessing the network drive but the slow phenomenon wasn't present
some time ago and has been persisting for a couple of years now. Is
this third-party IT organization correct or blowing smoke. I have
been lied to before by them.
Thanks...Steve
