Re: [Rant] Holy Hard Drive rip off

I put in the third hotswap bay now, hooked it up to the two RAID cards, and tested each slot with a drive.

The bottom unit is empty at the moment (only 10 drives out of the 15 bays), but it'll make adding another 5 drives a snap when the time comes. Just have to screw the drievs into the empty trays, stick them in, and add the new vdev to the pool.

The vdevs in the pool are currently rather unbalanced, as you can see.

Hey can you give some info how you did all that and the parts you got I'd like to do a set-up like that myself.
