HA! I knew something didn't make sense...
Now we are getting somwhere...
First, yes, it does take a little while for it to format the drive when it first boots. But this is nothing more than a format and should take no longer than a format on a PC does. Been a while, but if I remember right, it won't boot all the way until it finishes formatting the drive(s).
Next, you are going to have serious power issues. Those drives are too much for that little old power supply.
Then, there is a 1TB limit with the SNAP OS units kernel. You will not be able to build any type of array where the total drive size added up is greater than 1TB beforearray creation. This is total, before taking out CRC data. Meaning, in RAID 5 for example, 3 x 320 GB drives, or 4 x 250 GB drives (kiss 4 x 300 goodbye).
The setting of CS or M/S depends on what revision 4000 you have and the cables included with the unit.
For a 4000, drive 1 is the BOTTOM FRONT, 2 is the TOP FRONT, 3 is the BOTTOM REAR, and 4 is the TOP REAR.
