Not 100% sure, I know I used to get those before DSS v6 and also with the NetXen 10GB cards.

The upgrade to v6 and the intel 10gb happened at the same time, so not sure which fixed my problems.

I would assume it would probably remedy that situation though, since it takes caching in RAM out of the equation. As long as you have the spindles to keep up with the data load and your RAID controller is solid, you shouldn't have those problems.

Thanks for answer!
