Re: Snap server 2000
The 2000 were never design for the 7200 rpm drives. This is mainly a heat issue. By your serial number you have one of the early early v2 which supports LBA48bit (hd >137gig) with the proper OS. (READ NOTICE AT TOP OF THREAD) So installing 2 x 250gig drives should work. I would recommend replacing the cooling fan too, higher cfm.
Procedure would be like this.
1. Update the OS to version 3.4.805 or 3.4.807 , I don't recommend v4 for these older units.
2. Power down and replace both drives. Make sure you match your original drive configuration M/S or CS.
3. Restart, It will take about 10 min before you will have admin access. It takes that long for the OS to be decompressed and copied to the HD.
Once you can connect, you can monitor progress from the drive status.
4. Once the format has completed verify capacity. OK
5. You can now start the RAID 1 build, this takes a long time, 12+ hrs for 250 gig drives. Be Patient it will get there.
