Shite M.o.

Nothing but problems eh?

?

actually, i'm having none. in fact, this build was too easy, i need to run into some difficulty here!
i was referring to my scsi stuff that was replaced awhile ago by raptors and another areca card (which run so well, it's boring...), so i

the drives just arrived... they are way smaller than i thought. amazing. a little bit bigger than a credit card, and a half inch thick.
