    Are those 3x 2TB drives managed in some sort of RAID? What OS?

    OS? (I'm guessing some version of Windows from the screenshot) Drive management? Full space?

    I just have the three drives set as one dynamic disk in windows. I was trying for RAID 0, but I couldn't get it to work for the life of me so I said screw it.

    If you're gonna run RAID, run RAID.

    I could have sworn I had posted in here. Current setup after some upgrading:

    1x 500 WD
    2x 1TB 7200.12 Seagates
    2x 2TB Seagate LPs

    This will be moving to

    1x 1TB Seagate 7200.12
    3x 2TB Seagate LPs

    And then when I can get my next bits for my next computer

    1x 500GB WD
    3x 2TB Seagate LPs

    Well, I was getting dangerously close to 750GB of free space on my array, and Newegg just happened to have my favorite 1.5TB HDD on a great sale! So, I grabbed one of those, and massive props to Newegg for crazy fast shipping! I ordered it at noon yesterday, and it arrived at about 1PM today!

    Now, to grow my array.... O_O

    When I first started the process, it said it would take...somewhere around 7.5 months. ... ... Needless to say, it's sped up quite a bit, and now it looks like it should be done in only 17 hours! We'll see..

    w00tz! Done! Between growing the array and the filesystem, it took almost exactly 23 hours. And now for the results
    Code:
    khar0n@faust:~$ df -h
    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/faust-root
                          3.2G  1.8G  1.3G  60% /
    udev                 1001M  260K 1000M   1% /dev
    none                 1001M     0 1001M   0% /dev/shm
    none                 1001M  288K 1000M   1% /var/run
    none                 1001M     0 1001M   0% /var/lock
    none                 1001M     0 1001M   0% /lib/init/rw
    /dev/sdg5             228M   16M  200M   8% /boot
    /dev/md0              6.8T  4.5T  2.0T  70% /home/khar0n/faust
    EDIT:
    Also, here's a picture of Faust in its temporary home.
