So Raid 5 building needs 3-4 days.
Definitely. Try, but don't scream.

Take another 4 500 Gig drives and it will "sashaying".

Again (to phoenix32) I'm not trying to spread "bad info", but as far as my experience with my current ordeal:
1. My research says it can IF you can get the proper adapters for the bigger drives. I believe it can handle up to 18 or 22 TB.
2. Can't say for sure, but those are the drives I have and it told me it would take 22 hours to move 33 gigs onto it. Also, note, the error logs I've posted which would lead me to believe it does have an issue dealing with those drives. I could be wrong though. Also, it did, in fact, take at least 3 days to resync every time I set up the RAID.
Also, when I just had the one new drive in it, in RAID 0, it flew. Awesome transfer times. The second I put one more new drive in it, made it another vol, it was back to dragging ass....both of the drives.
So maybe it isn't an issue with the drives per say, but when the snap tries to manage them in a RAID. (or even in seperate RAIDs)
