You have a v2 hardware which means your 2000 will support large drives. BUt since this is a software raid unit, you will/should upgrade your ram to. You will need minimum of 128 meg of PC100 DIMM's installed. For some reason the larger drives need more cache, as well as v4 requiring more.

You said MS2003 Small Bussiness Server. Are you using MS2003 AD? This is the only advantage v4 brings to the table. Other wise upgrade to 3.4.805.

Thanks so much for your input

Yes, I am using 2003 Active Directory, so being able to support this would be a definite bonus.

Upgrading the RAM shouldn't pose a problem, however you mentioned 128Mb as a minimum. What is the largest PC100 module the Snap 2000 will support?

Last, but not least, where could I obtain a copy of the v4 or 3.4.805 OS?

Looking forward to your response.
