My W3690 has been flawless this whole time. I really appreciate the relevance this old thing offers given today's tech. I think I may make one more revision before I retire this PC as a full-time media server and move on to a Sandy Bridge dual socket or higher. Did any of you guys notice much...
I attempted to shrink the raid partition 3 times now. It takes 8+ hours to perform and every time I check, the partition size stayed exactly the same. Is it common that drives are different sizes even though they are advertised as 1TB, 2TB, 4TB etc?
