Bitor, The 4000 does not support a remote shutdown, this is why it is not in the menu. You can do the command via the debug menu and it will tell you it is shutting down, but it will not actually shut down no matter how long you wait.

I have not tested it due to the $ involved, but I can see no reason why the 4000 would not support 4 x 750 GB drives as single drives (being on the same IDE channel should make no difference). Notice I called it single drives, I refuse to call it JBOD (even though that is what the documentation calls it also), because it is NOT JBOD. JBOD combines drives (even of different sizes) into one large disk (not striped either). JBOD = Just a Bunch Of Disks.

Anywise, it may not work, I have no idea without testing it myself, but from what I can tell from the hardware etc, it should work fine IF you replace the power supply to one that can support that load.
