Good catch! For anything above raid 1, MAKE SURE your drives support SCT/ERC. For example, Seagate Barracudas are very popular desktop drives, but I guess maybe HALF of the emails asking for help recovering an array on the raid list involve them dying ... (I've got two :-( but my new system - when I get it running - has ironwolves instead.) Cheers, Wol
