Modern RAID controllers can initialize the RAID as a background task. That way you can immediately install your system while the controller continues to build the RAID.

This seems to have been the problem. When I put my hear by the drives, I can hear, ever so fainly through the noise of the fans, the soft krr krr krr krr krr of the discs, even though the box is standing idle. I would much prefer to see the initialisation happening in one go though, so that I know when it is done. It has been going for a good 16 hours now and copying still gives me little over 7mb/s Thanks for your reply! Hans
