Sorry mate only now saw this post.
1. Yes i installed XBMC on the stock harddrive.
2. I put in the startech hotswap drive to allow the 4 bays to be storage with the original drive that came with the proliant as a boot xbmc drive.
Regards speed, its comparable to the revo in many ways. Everything streams nicely, the interface is responsive and quick (using confluence) and its been a very capable file server. I also have sickbeard on there grabbing episodes as well as sabnzb and everything is as fast, if not more so than the revo.
Months on i can honestly say that the graphics card purchase was sound, i've had no issues whatsoever with the device and have been very happy with it.
