Came in this morning and it says it's 10% done. At this rate, it will take 5 days. <BR />I have a Proliant DL380 (733MHz), 4-SCSI-2 18Gbyte drives as a RAID 5 array, and expanding with one more SCSI-3 18Gbyte drive. <BR />Should it be taking this long?

The array I have is the mother board integrated array that comes with the DL380.
