Any capacity "screenshots"? I'm curious to see what the max capacity and (typical/max) drive temps are under xraid! Hopefully these drives are faster than the green power drives which seemingly cannot suspend-but it's no big deal really to me. Currently weighing whether to go with 1TB GP drives or try these new 1.5TB drives... I have. Disk space: 2423 GB (58%) of 4163 GB used Additional 5 GB reserved for snapshots RAID Configuration Configuration: X-RAID (Expandable RAID), 4 disks Status: Redundant RAID Disks: Ch 1 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 1393 GB allocated Ch 2 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 1393 GB allocated Ch 3 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 1393 GB allocated Ch 4 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 1393 GB allocated I was having a problem about a day after the installation where I couldn't delete a file. I decided to reboot with a file/quote check and that failed with a kernel panic. I restarted and it proceeded to do a resync and has been fine since. I did notice a sector reallocation on one of the drives, which I presume was the cause of the problem.

Wow! bollar you have given me the new drive to stash away $800 for these four drives, and then swap them in one at a time into my existing 4TB WD Greenpower array.

4.163 redundant Tb.. sweet. Thanks for the thorough report...

Is that normal to see te 4Gb discrepancy per drive -- [1397 GB]vs. 1393 GB allocated ?

What kind of drive temperatures do you see at idle and under higher load? That was my (and dare I say others') last basic curiousity...
