This forum is great - able to solve some real problems, in particular thanks to poogles and others who have helped me out!
OK bought three more drives at ALDI and now four 160gb samsung drives are humming away in an old snap 4000, with RAID5 formatted to full capacity (original configuration was 4 x 30 gb drives). Just watch out that cable select seems to do the better job as I failed with master-slave config.

It is a little slow with RAID 5 and the limited memory and the next step will be to upgrade the memory.
