Thank you for your response. It is my office server, but it runs on 2 1T drives
(Carvair Black) Have had good experiences with them. I toss at least 1 barracuda
in the trash every 3-4 months.
I'll stick with MBR and see how it goes. In that case I'll just boot the install
media and assemble the arrays and see what I end up with.
