http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST4000DX000/dp/B005WX3NEU/ "Seagate Barracuda 7200 4 TB 7200RPM SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 128MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive" It does bring to mind a question...when I went to put SATAII drives in a SATA box, I needed to flip a jumper on the drive so that it would operate at 1.5Gb/s instead of 3Gb/s. Felix, did you follow any analogous steps for the 4TB drives? (Cripes, that's a lot of data. One drive, bigger than any of my aggregate volumes.) -- :wq
