  1. I run a production company, we currently have an 80TB RAID array (10x 8TB drives with a MegaRAID controller) shared across a 10GB ethernet network... it's been working great until the last month (was installed in April 2018). The 'server' has Windows 10 pro installed with a max of 4 network users editing or accessing content over the network (Netgear 10Gbe switch) via 3 macs / 1 PC. I didn't build the system and unfortunately the people who did apparently didn't install enough cooling as we had an issue last month where under heavy usage the HDD temps were rising north of 60*C. This caused severe performance issues, files weren't copying / verifying correctly and it was all a bit of a mess. I installed more fans, backed everything up, all has been fine since then. However, today the server had a major meltdown where during a fairly basic copy of about 60Gb of data, from one of the networked Macs, the copy failed and the network interface on the server crashed (it just disconnected and all the lights on the card went out) taking a restart to get back up and running. This problem re-occurred every time the data was copied, yet copying to the local drive on the mac was fine. The question is will I see better, more stable results by installing Windows Server 2019 rather than running Windows 10? And perhaps more error reporting too? I have a feeling the latest networking error has come from using a teamed connection through the Intel 10GB NIC I have installed so I'm going to reverse this, however I know this is a feature I could use from Windows Server if we had it rather than using the Intel utility in Windows 10. Thoughts appreciated
