Room for 3 more if I have to do that again it will be 3 TB drives, it will be quite a while i should hope. Will post results when I have them up and running in raid configuration and post a how to with screenshots..
Sweet... Thats a damn lotta drives and a whole helluva lotta space! Which as we all know, is NEVER enough...
Yep, you have that right Ubuntu-Ultiamte-Gamers-1.6a , b , c, d , e etc. Each at ~4GB sucks the space with the quickness I don't remove them until it goes final. And keep each final for example:

24 GB in nothing but final releases. Does it warrant a TB? Probably not, but I recently lost one of my 320's or so I thought xfs_repair is a wonderful tool. Just the thought of losing 320GB yes, that drive is almost 100% full, made me start to think differently. The other 320 is under constant strain and indeed could fail as well. The 500's will pretty much idle, exclusively for backup purposes. May take the time to write a bash backup script executed as a cron job there is no-one I trust more then me when it comes to writing software... No pun intended. May feel "froggy" and take the time and write it in C, regardlessly I will post it in my programming section for others to reap the benefits.
