I have a large, organic network at home with some ethernet and mostly wi-fi connections.
The problem I am having is that when I transfer music files over my network via ethernet to my music server computer, the transfers seem unreliable in that when I verify with MD5 hashes, they do not match the original file.
Here is the network:
Ubee DVW32CB cable modem/router
Windows 7 computer connected via ethernet to router
Windows 10 computer (music server) connected via ethernet to router
6 x 3 TB hard drives, in a multi-drive hard drive cabinet, connected by USB 3 connection on computer to the Windows 10 computer (this this the music server's music storage area)
When I transfer a music file of say 20 MB size to one of the six drives, Teracopy, the file transfer utility I use, indicates that all the hash tags are mismatched when the verify option is ticked.
Coincidentally, a friend has noticed how many of my music files have small defects when they play.
What can I do to trouble shoot this issue?
My thoughts are as follows:
1. Try another computer to send files
2. Try another computer to serve as the music server or receiver of the files
3. Try another cable modem/router (have to exchange it with the cable co.)
4. Try transferring the files to the hard drive of the Win 10 computer
I'm using the network connection on the motherboard of the Win 7 and Win 10 computers. I add a network card in the Win7 computer but not the Win 10 computer.
Any diagnostic software out there?
Thanks.
