Turns out if I drag files from the pc to the mac using the pc file explorer in windows 7, the file transfer always quits in the middle, even though the share is still online. However if I drag a file from the windows box onto the mac drive using OSX finder, the transfer completes just fine. I would guess the reverse is true - I'd need to drag the file over in windows explorer if transferring to a windows drive. Had a 70 gb project transfer in 11 minutes between the two RAIDS at around 80 MB/s over the lan cable. Success. Looks like it was a file handling error of some sort. Anyway, gonna set up a static IP between the two boxes and see if that fixes the issue of networking over wifi...
