Hi all I tried backing up T605 (with Hyper-V) to external USB drives using WSB but was getting excruciatingly slow write speeds of <4Mb/s (normal copy operations at large amounts of data to these drives, without WSB being involved, is better than 50Mb/s) so I added a 1TB internal SATA drive. Performance is now much better... ... for two minutes, then I get a Event ID 129 " Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort1, was issued." event and backup pauses for more than three minutes before resuming

My solution was a bit different to yours. My problem was two-fold: 1. The installation media was Microsoft Action Pack which the Dell Systems Management Tools installer wouldn't recognise, therefore I had to perform a clean install. 2. During the initial install (32-bit) a driver is required for the DVD. R181056, being 64-bit, doesn't work but the 32-bit version - R174387 - does giving access to SATA DVDs and HDDs. (Afterwards I redid the install to recreate and document the process and confirmed

Did you get this sorted? Is the single installation DVD both 32 & 64 bit? If so, I had and resolved the same problem. John

I've been running SBS 2003 since 710 motherboard was upgraded to 720. Am using nVidia XP drivers (6.19?) and Dell's version of mediashield (6.99 - R164977) to manage RAID5 array. hth

By a long chalk the most important aspect for me is battery endurance. Next would be portability. Thereafter, I'd like it to be fairly quick, have a reasonable hdd capacity and be competitively priced. Connectivity options are important. I've just ordered a D430 which seems to fit the bill in most respects (maybe connectivity options could be better). Display performance, (size, colour, resolution) are way down my list. John

Thanks - I now have it booted and have installed SBS 2003 on a Raid5 array, using XP drivers. Any comments on whether to use Dell's XP drivers for Windows Server or find drivers directly from the manufacturer? Specifically Broadcom ethernet, Intel Pro/1000 (already have) and SM Bus. Cheers John
