After all I heard, this has to be an hardware error, maybe the internal
controller isn´t working correctly.
I formated a 600GB raid5 array (software raid) on my fc4 box yesterday
without any problems.
kind regards

I think you're missing the scope of what LaCie does... :-)
They do not manufacture harddisks, they make external enclosures using
standard disk drives - Last I heard they were using mostly WD...
To offer large capacities (their enclosures go up to 2TB) they use an
internal
controller and several smaller harddisks.

I am returning it and getting my $$ back and this is what i'm thinking
of doing now, just get a case and a 4-5 hotswap sata bay and use
sata-to-sata for backup, I think i would get much better performance
and I can do it for the same price. I wont fill all the drives up
just yet, just get them as I need them and expand the lv.
Make sure your power supply can handle it all. You can get weird
problems from an too-small or bad power supply.
