Very nice, I wanna jump on that WD loyalty program but I dont know what exactly to do. I'd like to get the 320's as they are cheaper than the 400's but I can also fit alot on the 400's as a single share and the idea of raiding two 320's and loosing the data if one fails is unbearable. I was curious as to how some of you had your file servers setup and if you used raid cards, onboard, or software raid. Im thinking Ill just go with the 2x 320's and reorganize my shares.
 
Currently all disks are just kinda sitting there. However, by the end of next week, I'll be having a 8-drive raid-5 array utilizing a highpoint 2220 and 8 WD3200SD.
