First of all I wanted to thank you all for this forum, it has already helped me get my new NAS up and running. I am on OSX and couldn't use the easy install cd, but found a nice thread that let me download the differences and upload to the server and voila, it worked!
My current issue is that I have a very close to full 500G harddrive, mostly movies and tv shows, with some music thrown in. I put 2 1T disks in the NAS raid 1, and want to move all my media over to the NAS... But when I go to move it ftp - it tells me I have ~75 hours for the move... Is this normal? I know it is a lot of info, but should it really take that long? This is over wireless G... How much speed bump can I expect from a wired connection? How long should ~500G transfer take?
Are there workarounds? I know it formatted my disks, but can I pull one of the disks, throw it in a case and move it like that, then put the disk back in the NAS? Would it still work raid1? What is the fastest way to do this?
Thank you!

That would be a low estimate for wireless; it will probably take longer. Not to mention, wireless may drop and/or introduce errors in a long copy session. The ideal way to move the info right now is to connect a network cable directly to the NAS and use static IP addresses on both. If you have Gbit on the computer, this would be really good. I get around 17 MB/s with Gbit ethernet for writing large files, but I drop to around 5 MB/s when it hits lots of small files. The speed you get will depend on file size and quantity, as well as your connection speed.
