firewire drobo running at 1.75mb a second

As title, no idea why its not running like it should be :confused:

The firewire card is a PCI-E:

'Lycom PE-107 PCI-E 2 Port FireWire 800 (1394b) and 1 Port Firewire 400 (1394a) Card.

Running off a p45 gigabyte mainboard with Q6600 @ 3.7ghz

Any ideas?!

Anyone ? I cant figure out why its doing it :S

check you've got the latest drivers for your firewire card. I don't know much about Drobo's, maybe it's doing a RAID rebuild or Initialisation?

This would be my guess. I wouldn't have thought Drobos would be any different to other RAID type system in this respect.
