Formatting

Formatting a pair of 1.5TB drives takes way too long, and I don't really want to think how long its going to take to copy all the data off the old 500GB drives back onto them. On the flip side, It only took about 2 hours to diagnose that the reason for the near immediate shutdown of my PC after powering it on was thermal in nature. Turns out the CPU heatsink/fan had come somewhat loose, and the thermal goop was bad. I'm just amazed I still had a bit of goop around to regoop it with...I haven't done any desktop work in several years.
