It was me who said you needed 128MB memory for large file transfers on larger drive units. I do not know where the cutoff is for what is large an what is not, but with 4 x 250 GB in RAID 5 on the 4000, it is needed. Now without the RAID 5, I don't know, I did not test that. And will it make a difference that it is only 2 drives instead of 4? I don't know that either. Sorry, but I did not test my 4000's with only 2 drives and other than for the speed tests, I set my units up to RAID 5.
