Thanks,
Of course free is always nice but I assumed that since it wasn't available free on Adaptec's site it wasn't going to be free. Now if someone would like to share...
The question is whether it's worth $200.
At first I was going to resurrect the drive for some extra file storage and as stated above my environment is Win2K3 AD so I really would like the best integration with that environment. However, after reading the post on this forum I think I'd like to use it for a mirrored online backup device for digital image files so capacity becomes an issue. But before I go out and buy a couple of 200 or 300 gig drives I'd like to know what my options are w/ and w/o the software upgrade.
On another note, there is an internal fan, I assume a CPU fan, which seems to be on its way out in my unit. Any suggestion on a replacement? Note this is not the fan at the back of the unit.
Thanks,
Rob
