As you posted but I did not know if you had update/upgraded the unit since then. Maybe the SnapOS needs to be updated in order to achieve the 1GB memory? To me it doesn't sound right to have 12 hd and only having 512MB of RAM for it. I understand how reluctant you would be to upgrade the OS. But it might mean you could add a 1GB of memory to your 12000 and 4.0.829 should work perfectly fine.
Western Digital seems to have the correct drives to fit in the trays from 250GB and down, but always check first. Seagate 80GBs should work. I agree with finding identical drives will be hard. Keep us posted on the RAID configuration testing. This should be very interesting.

I'm still trying to source 6 identical drives without paying silly money for them. There are so many models of Seagate 160Gb, it takes some time to find one particular model. I've got three working 3160212ACE and four working 3160022ACE. I'm expecting a few more to arrive shortly, so assuming a) they have been correctly described and b) they work I might be able to test a single 6 drive RAID5 array shortly. Getting six of each type for a pair of 6 drive arrays may take a bit longer.
