NOPE!! I snuck the drives in the case before she could find out...AND.. I told her that the new case was just for transferring all the hardware from old unRAID box. Little does she know That i have spent quite a bit of coin on this upgrade to include 4new HD's, a new MOBO, new SAS and Antec DF-35 case. Wheww, this hobby is getting wayyy expensive! I really need t go to rehab to curb the addiction...
but it just keeps calling me and calling me, I try to kick but i just gotta go to it!

Love the upgrades Hook... I threw a cache drive in mine, a spare 250GB 7200 RPM WD drive I had laying around... and added another 3TB drive to mine because well, you inspired me! My wife hates you.
Great news on the Cache... what type of performance improvements did you notice??... could you please post your increased speed results results, I wanna compare them to mine which increased about 3X
Great that you added a 3TB drive... If you grabbed the WD 3TB EZRX drives like I did... DO NOT disable the LCC's with WDIdle3.exe and the /D command... set it to about 5min or so. Read

...and by the way, use the BS line with wife like I did..
"Well babe, I only do this for you and the kids so we can save on going out to the movie theater every week".. LOL, we still have been going every week tho'!
