I have a 2000 model (478xx) with the model changed to a 4 drive configuration. When I applied the 4.0.860 upgrade, my RAID 5 broke because the unit would only recognize 2 drives. I downgraded to 4.0.854 & got the same thing. When I went down to 4.0.830 my 4 drives were once again recognized & the RAID was OK.

Just a warning that something appears to be in the new bios upgrade that forces a 2 drive configuration on the 2000 even if you set it to a 4 drive model.

Anyone see this on the 1000 model where the 2 drive config is lost after upgrading?
