Notes

Setting a flash drive as the boot device: Go to the 'Boot' screen in the bios. Select 'Hard Disk Drives' (3rd Option). Reorder the drives so that the 1st drive is your flash drive. Return to the previous screen and select 'Boot Device Priority'. The 1st boot device will now be the flash drive. If you had not completed the first steps this screen would have shown another drive and you are unable to select a boot device other than the first drive chosen on the 'Hard Disk Drives' screen.

I have just ran a parity check on this board, the syslog is attached. For those checking it I started the parity check around 22:40.

Your final Parity Check speed is not 95MB/s. It is ~ 72MB/s (72217K/s). This is taken directly from your syslog:

Sorry I hadn't checked the syslog. I just looked at the speed at the start of the sync before letting it run over night.
