Your original confg on the m9177c utilized (2) 320GB drives in tandem for 640GB total. That means files swapped between drives.

The best, and simpliest answer is to put in a single 1T.  It will be more efficient.

 

BTW, better get that 1T soon, as the BIOHD-8 error is your warning of  impending doom.

I believe in Pavlov's Law. You toss me points, and I perform better.
