I just recently added 2 new seagate 1.5tb drives to the one I previously had been using. In the console I had it migrate all 3 drives into a raid 5 array while preserving the data on the 1st drive. This started tuesday evening and is now at 51% complete and claims 80.5 hours more.

The first 26% or so went by fast maybe 2hours, then it hit a wall and slowed to a crawl. I don't know what I can do other than wait it out for 3 more days and see if there is any data left when its done? Does this sound like something is wrong or should it always take this long?

The 2 new drives I got came with firmware CC1H on them, the older drive I had is CC1J which I found odd. I can't seem to find any patch to CC1J for the H drives on seagates site. Could that have anything to do with it?
