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. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
