Same here. :-)

Had to buy 2 20G drives from them, but this weekend I'll replace them
with 4 120GB drives in RAID5.

OT: what about putting a standby drive on one of the channels as a
slave? yeah, you don't want to do that if both master and slave are
pushing data, but in this case I want the slave there only in the
event one of the masters fails, so I can rebuild the raid with the
spare.
