Yesterday my last replacement hard drive came and I was finally able to get my new server up and running (and it's been busily copying ever since). Total time to being up and running - the original order was July 20th, and it was able to start copying files to yesterday (August 12th). This included:
- Originally ordered parts July 20th, arrived August 1st
- First set of (incorrect) SAS/SATA cables ordered August 4th, arrived August 6th
- Second set of (correct) SAS/SATA cables ordered August 6th, arrived August 8th
- Discovered "bad" hard drive (1 out of original 8) on August 8th, and after checking everywhere in town and finding out nowhere sold this particular model, ordered a replacement August 8th, arrived August 12th.
