Why does copying to my Time Capsule internal drive stall?
Brand new Airport with 3TB Time Capsule (and also a brand new quad-core Mini). Almost every time I copy something over the network to the ATC's internal drive (from either my new Mini or my old one), it begins the copy and then stalls for quite some time at some midpoint of the progress bar.
Is this normal? Or a normal problem with a known solution?
Or am I complicating things by having both a wired gigabit connection AND an Airport N connection live at the same time? That is, I have Airport turned on for both my Minis, connected to the Airport Time Capsule, AND I have ethernet cables connecting both my Minis to the gigabit ports of the ATC. Is this not only redundant (which I wouldn't mind) but counter-productive/causing the stall?
I.e., isn't an ATC smart enough to use the fastest available connection method without stepping on its own toes? Isn't Mac OS X smart enough to prevent that too?
Thanks in advance for any useful insights!
(As a side-point, I have NOT yet configured Time Machine to back up my Minis to the Time Capsule - I'll be doing that later after I've got each Mini's role on my network sorted out. So Time Machine activities are NOT part of the problem I've describing above.)
