Re: Adding disks to a raid set, how long is too long?

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

	You implied that these are internal disks not SAN based. So with that I 
would say that anything over a couple hours is an error. With SAS as you 
certainly know building the RAID sets is a fair bit faster than it 'twas 
on SCSI. 600GB Spinnys are a couple of hours so.....

	My vote:  Too Long!
