Which I have found can also be done with gparted, so the 1st 2 drives 
which will be put in slot 2 as the Top and Bottom drives in that 2 drive 
adaptor in slot 2, have had their partitions labeled as SIPWRS2T and 
SIPWRS2B. And labeled as such with a P-Touch. The other 2 that just 
walked in the door, are still cold enough to sweat if unsealed.
