I've seen this happen with USB 2.0 drives attached to USB 1.1 ports on servers, such as on the current HP DL385 G1 and HP DL380 G3 and earlier servers. If you put a USB2.0 card in the server and attach the USB 2.0 drives to it, the data transfer will work fine. Not all USB cards will fit into PCI-X slots though. Ones that I've found that work are Belkin USB cards.

I ammume that was the correct answer. I ended up copying over the network(Should have done it that way to begin with but I was hoping the external drive would be faster)<br />

I have just installed a new server and am running windows 2003 server. &nbsp;I copied all the files from my old server to an external hard drive and am now trying to copy them to the new server. &nbsp;I keep getting an error saying &quot;cannot copy file:cannot read from the source file or disk&quot; . &nbsp;It only happens when I try to copy the larger folders - approx 150 MB or more. &nbsp;I can copy smaller files just fine. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
