Appreciate it Cuda. I wish I could see it more. It's tucked away running 24/7 now.

Update!

NASgul had her first error Sunday night just before bedtime. The RAID controller alarm went off with this ear piercing tone that sounded like a smoke detector. Since I didn't have time to trouble shoot I just did a full system shut down. Monday after work I delved into it and discovered the Drive1 had errored and needed to rebuild. I'm still not sure what caused the error but I'm guessing it was just a bad sector. Going to do a full diagnostic tonight when I get home as the rebuild should be complete. I was very,very, VERY, relived to find out that all my data was still there. Monday was a highly stressful day not knowing if all was lost or not.

why a 955 quad core? For a home storage box a dual core can be overkill, I know being a registered rodeo clown requires overkill on everything, and my storage box is a good example, but a little A6 dual core would do the job just fine.

Re-UPDATE

So everything is fine with NASgul. Still not 100% sure what caused the alarm to go off but the array successfully rebuild so I'll have to assume it was a sector error or something to that effect. She's up and running at full strength again.

That's a pretty sweet little box there Habba Jabba. I will say I'm glad I went with the rig that I did as I do tend to do some minor web surfing and such for downloading minor software tools etc. (i.e. crystaldiskmark).

Size is still a limitation to speed. That's for sure. You do really nice work mate.
