Same here. :-) Had to buy 2 20G drives from them, but this weekend I'll replace them with 4 120GB drives in RAID5. OT: what about putting a standby drive on one of the channels as a slave? yeah, you don't want to do that if both master and slave are pushing data, but in this case I want the slave there only in the event one of the masters fails, so I can rebuild the raid with the spare.
