Two terabyte drives and a SATA card to hang 'em off. The new server (I tend to use Christmas holidays to do major infrastructural work at home) now has a big enough empty space inside it that there's an echo in there...

Let us know when you've finished running them in... I left my new terabyte drive being chewed over by Linux's badblocks for 24h in an attempt to make it fail and it still hadn't finished checking the whole disk completely.
