Apparently someone really doesn't want me to have a server!

Glad you're winning the war.

How did that ever get past QC in the first place? I mean they might as well be disposable connectors! I've seen some newwer ones (on WD drives not sure if its just for those alone though) that have an extra bit that should have always been part of the spec...


I'm also not winning the war, i've just narrowed it down to one drive, that works, occasionally, how can i check if its dieing? I'm almost certain it can't be. It has to be a controller problem, if were looking at ages the drive is never and much much much less used (if at all, some of these 4 haven't been touched) than the controller, i'm really at a loss.

Problems with this drive could be, power cable, serial cable, controller, converter, or the drive itself, not really sure how issolate these issues with what i have. At least i know something to do with this one is useless...

Its does seem like its always after the server has been left on for about 30 mins and had a bit of use, for isntance WHS keeps "balancing" data, or i'm thrashing them.
