I installed my two new SATA2 750GB drives with an “enlobal bearing” fan blowing on them and created a Linux software RAID1 array. I’m now in the process of copying the contents of my failing 600GB RAID5 array. Very exciting for the gEEkey types! I’m only a few days away from removing this bird’s nest from underneath my desk.
