Step 1, set it to be raid. Took several hours.

Then I hacked it so it is quiet, silent and dark when it is not is use. I'm much happier with it now.

Sure, there is a performance hit while the drives spin up, but the amount the disks are actually used, it makes more sense to have it tuned like that.

I also have a bittorrent client on there. pretty sweet really.

Just wish the transfer speeds were better, but you get what you pay for there...
