Are those 3x 2TB drives managed in some sort of RAID? What OS?
Only just :).
Oh & they are simply connected to motherboard, all 6 sata ports are used, I use an IDE dvd drive.
Windows 7 home premium 64bit, used everest for the screenshot
32gb free
320gb free
337gb free
243gb free
658gb free
612gb free
So plenty of free space :).
OS? (I'm guessing some version of Windows from the screenshot) Drive management? Full space?
I just have the three drives set as one dynamic disk in windows. I was trying for RAID 0, but I couldn't get it to work for the life of me so I said screw it.
I'm going to try. My server has 2 1TB drives + 2 320GB in my main PC + 1.5TB for another, 4 * 500GB RAIDed for my bro's PC
If you're gonna run RAID, run RAID.
I just picked up one of these hosses on Ebay...

Population shall commence upon receipt.
I could have sworn I had posted in here. Current setup after some upgrading:
1x 500 WD
2x 1TB 7200.12 Seagates
2x 2TB Seagate LPs
This will be moving to
1x 1TB Seagate 7200.12
3x 2TB Seagate LPs
And then when I can get my next bits for my next computer
1x 500GB WD
3x 2TB Seagate LPs
Well, I was getting dangerously close to 750GB of free space on my array, and Newegg just happened to have my favorite 1.5TB HDD on a great sale! So, I grabbed one of those, and massive props to Newegg for crazy fast shipping! I ordered it at noon yesterday, and it arrived at about 1PM today!
Now, to grow my array.... O_O
When I first started the process, it said it would take...somewhere around 7.5 months. ... :whistler: ... Needless to say, it's sped up quite a bit, and now it looks like it should be done in only 17 hours! :P We'll see.. ;)
w00tz! Done! Between growing the array and the filesystem, it took almost exactly 23 hours. And now for the results :twisted:
