I don't know about Supermicro boards, but I have a whole lot of IBM 
EXP300 expansion units connected to the servers I manage. A new 146GB 
SCSI hard drive replacing a defunct drive in a RAID 1 mirror takes 
upwards of 5 hours to rebuild. So I guess one could consider it normal 
for it to take so long.
