How many hours did this take you to get up? Are you using DSM 4.2 or 4.3 beta?

Only a couple of hours. 4.2

Got USB working. Tonight when I get home I will try the eSATA tower again. If it works, I will have to wipe out my SHR2 array and rebuild it (more than likely) since I do not believe I can add another 750GB HDD when my array has 4x1TB & 1x750GB HDDs now.

Well, my eSATA tower is working. But I had to move the backplane into the #1 HDD slot so I could still have the fan run while attaching a HDD directly to the cable running to the backplane. So that means I will have 2x750GB HDDs & 4x1TB HDDs in a SHR2 array.

<edit>
By working I mean the drive is detected. Can't do a thing with it though
I'm thinking of not using the internal 750GB drive as I am fine with around 2TB of space and if I run out, its a reason to give the wife to let me upgrade. Unless anyone has some ideas on why my SiL3132 isn't detected by DSM?
