Server Upgrade

I’ve upgraded my server (the machine that hosts this site, the gallery, and several other things) by outfitting it with a RAID 5 array of four 400GB SATA II hard drives. After formatting, I’ve added 1.1TB of storage. I also bought hot swap enclosures (as you can see in the picture below) because 1.) they are cool and 2.) I needed them to mount the four drives since the computer already had four drives in it.

RAID Array

*UPDATE*: I’ve successfully (successful so far) migrated all of the previous services over to the new array.  If anyone notices anything broken, let me know.
