yes, I read notices, and I also realize that if someone takes pity on me, and contacts me off the board, then that's between them and I. I can hope, anyway.

As far as capacities, Why are all the M4100 replacement drives 160GB capacity?
4x160 raid 5=480gb if I still remember second grade math and raid fundamentals.
P/N 5325301671 is what I'm referencing.
Was snap playing games with formatted capacity? Does the 160 format down to 137, and thus your 480 is really only 411?

I know to match drives.. I've been building raids since 1985, and worked with MFM / RLL / ESDI long before that.
