@Flash: Thank you for that update and conratulations for your courage.

a) with the newer Constellation ES.2 or ES.3?
b) with a mix of older 500GB drives and newer 2TB/3TB/4TB drives?
Which type of "challenges" you would expect?
I ask because, if it does NOT work, then I go get a newer NAS case (which I would need anyways) and are fine.
Thanx,
