I am not sure that power is the issue...I can format all 4 drives individually (about 40 minutes), and have just successfully mirrored a pair (took 13 hours). I have tried with 4 drives as well as 3 drives for the raid 5 – no dice thus far. I too had been eyeing the 320’s because of the price break/ power…but then saw the 400’s for sale on Fry’s for $110 ea. W/ 2DA shipping included. Insane price so I jumped on it. Not a total loss, since I have a raid card I can put these on if it comes to it. I just wanted them in the snap and had read that others were having success with larger drives. I am still pretty new at hacking and upgrading the snaps, but have gotten the bug… There has got to be a way to make this work…
