I haven't had any of the issues you've described what so ever.

I did upgrade the ROMs on mine shortly after I got it, in fact before I even installed unRAID on it.

[HP Server - keyboard/mouse/usb & critical BIOS failure]

can you post up the BIOS and iLO versions that are installed on the affected machines?

 

[6.8.0 SMB Ver 4.11.3 significant performance decrease when opening files in folders with 1000+ files in them.]

I've had similar experiences but in pure windows environments.

In general, having large numbers of files in a given folder will cause major speed issues when it comes to dealing with folder display.  I'm kind of surprised 6.7.2 worked faster, though.  You should see the performance impact when you have 10,000+ files in a folder (hint... don't do that.)  Mind you, i'm digging through memories that are 15+ years old here, but it has something to do with SMB and it's presentation methods.  Local disk browsing or even direct file access had no speed issues, just folder browsing of very large folders.

 

If you have that many files, there's got to be a logical way to organize them into subfolders.
