XRaid Progress
February 13, 2011

In a previous post, I described our situation with storage and finding a way to reuse the XRaid’s we had in the racks. By using a IDE2SATA adapter and a notebook 7200rpm drive, we were able to replace all the drives in a fairly cheap manner. Right now, I have 70 drives (5 XRaid’s, 4 in picture.) formatting in Raid 5. We are about 24 hours in and formatting is at almost 50%.
