Re: [PLUG] size matters ...

One cool thing you could do is set up the drives using Linux software
raid-5... if you have three that are identical anyway... You'd get an easier
to manage filesystem and redundancy to boot - especially good since they're
older drives...
I know Fedora/Redhat can create a raid array before installation.. not sure
about others...
