    Hi, got my D901C today (grin), seems they did not RAID-5 it for me. I have two quick questions:

    1) How do I see what raid they applied to my my 3 drives? I have x3 160 GBs and it shows as one disk of 447GB. When I look in the BIOS it only shows RAID enabled, I don't know what raid level was applied. If its was RAID-5 I would have anticipated seeing around 320GB. My BIOS does report that I have x3 160GBHDs.

    2) How do I go about formating the 3 drives in RAID-5?

    I am pretty techie, but if you guys can just point me in the right direction I should be okay.

    Thanks.

    NVM, the manual that came with it has all the info ... RTFM :) ... also, if you press ctrl+I at boot up you get the full RAID BIOS.
