I've admitted what I think the problem is, I don't know why you keep saying the same thing.
I've followed the steps that were posted here.
The only one I couldn't follow was getting a newer version of the OS. I'm stuck on verson....3 point something (forgot and don't want to walk to the server room to find out).
And I never said it didn't work as in nothing would happen. It did start up, make a RAID and transfer data. The transfer was the problem. There would be a normal transfer rate for about 4 to 5 seconds, then the transfer would slow to almost literally nothing for about 20 seconds. Then it would transfer at a normal rate for a couple of seconds, then it would slow again for about 20 seconds. Repeat cycle until the transfer was complete. Even before this problem, I knew something was up because it took 140 hours to sync the raid.
The logs errors that I posted, combined with google research point to the fact that there is an issue with drivers, so I'm guessing my older version of the Guardian OS doesn't have the proper drivers for the new, bigger drives.
If someone wants to float me a newer version of the guardian OS, and it works, I'll eat crow all day long
