Back up and running
I'm about five minutes away from finishing my data reacquisition. Installed the new SATA drive (320GB Hitachi) without any problems, though it's just kind of sitting there since my case doesn't really have room for five HDD. I've now a RAID 0+1 array at 465GB. And dang is it fast.
Had to uninstall and reinstall my NIC for reasons unknown, as when I tried to get my data back from the network temp drive it seemed to think that 15K/s was a reasonable transfer rate. By my calculations that would have taken approximately 104 days. But it went back up to 4MB/s after that. I'm pretty sure I managed to do this without any inadvertent data loss, but let me assure you, the prospect of transferring extra gigs over the network is a good incentive to discern just how much you really want that extra iso.
For those of you that have an interest: my IP is likely to have changed as a result of messing with network cables. Those of you that have an interest already know who you are and can contact me for the new IP.
