I've just set up a DNS-323 with a pair of 1TB drives in RAID 1, ext2.
To speed up the process of sending large files across to it (I would like to archive multiple ~30GB rendered movies of fish. Yes, some people do the strangest things) would it make sense to temporarily put one of the drives (or both?) into the main system, mount the ext2 fs with some windows compatible ext2 r/w driver, then copy the files across to the drive(s) via directly, then put the drives back into the DNS-323 ready for random access at a later date?
I know I could do them all over night, but I am still figuring out which files need to be archived and which I can afford to loose as they will be just as simple to render again. So I may need to move things back and forth a bit.
I guess that old adage, data grows to fill the available space still applies at 3TB
Thanks!

You could try it and see what happens.
Ext2ifs is an installable file system driver that will allow you to mount linux file systems in a Windows environment.
Theoretically - you could format a drive - move it to a Windows system, transfer your data, move it back and then install the second drive and let the system create the RAID1 array.

Thank you for the link. I'll give it a go at the weekend and post results.
