    OK...did you configure the drive first? Format it? How did you format it? Standard, linear striped or mirror RAID?

    lol.

    do you know how/where can i format the drives? i ran the wizard, looked evrywhere & i cant find a way to do it. (guess ill call em again).

    edit:

    lmao, so i called them again, after 15mins, they told me i should return the unit because they couldn't find a way to format the drives (the formatting thingy was grayed out). i knew that they wore just probably readin instructions, so i tried a few stuff & turns out all i had to do is press the restart button on the configuration page & after it started up, it took me to the formatting page.

    now all i have to do is wait .. yay
