Hey bkortleven

V4 is now available on Overland Storage's website as a free download... someone a few weeks back actually had a link to it in there post in this forum...

I have a 4000 that had a dodgy PSU and there is a way to convert a standard PSU but I hope you don't have to go to those lengths which includes enlisting someone who is qualified to to electronics... I was lucky I have a mate who has a mate so mine cost me 2x Cases.

As Phoenix mandated 6+ times over the length of this post; In terms of drives don't even consider putting bigger than 250GB for a Raid 5 it may appear to work but it will only cause issues... but if you have to do try it.

Also consider this... It takes a very long time to copy any large amount of data to a relatively slow 4000 through its 10/100 Nic port, stick to 4x 80GB's or 4x 160's or whatever you have laying around...
