the drives so you are absolutely sure which drive is which.


This does concern me. How the heck do I tell them apart, even now?
How di I figure out which drive is sda, which is sdb, which is sdc,
etc., etc.?


As it turns out, it proved straightforward to use either 'smartctl -a
--device=3ware,[0-3] /dev/twe[0-1]' or 3Ware's 3dm2 and tw_cli
(available on the Web site) tools to read the serial numbers of the
drives. So mystery solved.
