::VERIFIED::

Snap Server 4000

BIOS: 2.0.282
Hardware: 2.0.0
Software: 4.0.830
Drives: Maxtor 4x300GB (5A300J0) 5400RPM
RAID: 5
RAM: 128MB

No need to "ide 48bitLBACounter reset", just put them in and the first time it recognized and started formatting right away. 23 hours and 56 mins later (thanks for the warning on time yvette) I was speed testing after the RAID was built. [Note: A watched RAID never formats...]

Read: ~4.6MB/sec
Write: ~3.2MB/sec

Translated, the read speed is about 36mbits a second and DVDs play at around 4 to 9 mbits a second. I leave the math as an excercise to the reader.
