These harddiscs are Maxtor 6Y200P0. Since they are nearly full I'll go and 
replace them with a RAID-5 System anyway. So I can check for defective

The RAID-5 upgrade causes me to change the computercase. The new case does 
have better powersupply and better air flow for cooling the system. I'll come
