Need a little help from you guys familiar with RAID. I am using the Adaptec 2610SA RAID card and had a RAID5 working well. I pulled the drives and replaced with 2, 1.5TB drives that i want to set up as RAID-1. I run the adaptec setup and the drives are seen but it will not let me make a new array so I went into format disk, thinking i must do this first. The first drive is formatting but it looks like it is going to take all night just to do one drive. Is this normal? At this rate is going to take me two days just to get the drives formatted. then hopefully it will let me create the array. Does this sound correct? I thought NASLite did the formatting?
