I didn't realize that. Maybe I should just buy another drive identical to mine and run RAID0. That would be cheap, twice as fast, twice the capacity, and with some amount more heat and noise. I have a separate backup system so I'm not worried about data loss. I'm interested to hear from anyone who can comment on the perceived noise increase involved with going from one drive to two. This system is in the living room and the current hard drive can be heard from the bedroom. - Grant
