Hehe. Yes, I should HOPE it would be a heck of a network since we just put
it in. :) We have several terrabytes to move, and at this point I am glad
I'm a programmer and not one of the IT guys. :) Our drives are ultra-fast
too, in a fiber channel setup, so I still think we should be able to squeeze
some more juice out of it. But hardware isn't my area of expertise, so it
was just wishful thinking that there'd be some sort of panacea to get that
data migrated faster.
