I would get dropouts in the file on HDHR recordings when I uploaded a large file to the WHS. I was also using a Gigabyte board with the onboard gigabit nic. I upgraded to an Intel PCIe nic and the problem went away. $30 on Newegg.
I still can’t upload a large file to the WHS and play back a high bitrate 1080p movie without hiccups, but I think that is related to harddrive throughput more than the network. That’s why I keep my TV recording drives off of the drive pool. I see no reason to include them in the drive pool.
