Update: After waiting hours for the first drive to sync up, it went through and took its new place in the RAID set. I figured I wouldn't get too eager, and just go drive by drive, rather than pulling all the old drives out (now that one is synced) and putting the other 3 new ones in. That, and I'm unsure how doing that might affect the integrity of the RAID set and the data on it. No sense is risking it with someone else's files.

I'm eager to see, once all the new drives are in, if the Snap automatically reconizes their capacity, rather than adopting the old drives' size. So far it does see the first new drive as having the correct size (about 446 gigs).

And the truly best part? If I play my cards right, I might get to walk away with 4 free 250 giggers....mmmm, I'm smelling a FreeNAS box to call my own.
