Hi, I've got a Snap Server 2200 I picked up at auction that had a broken RAID 0 (striped) due to a failed drive (drive had been pulled from the unit leaving only one 80GB drive). I've repaired the broken stripe with a reconfig to JBOD and am now attempting to upgrade the unit to 2x300GB. I left the 80GB drive in place (disk 1) and installed one of the 300GB drive sin the disk 2 postiion. However the 300GB drive is formatting to only 128GB. Specifics of the 2200 are:

SnapOS: 4.0.860
Hardware: 2.0.3
BIOS: 3.3.705

From the other threads I am lead to believe this 2200 should handle a 300GB drive so I'm a bit perplexed. Any info on why the disk is not formatting to the full 300GB would be most appreciated. Thanks, BDK
