Bad blocks found, what can I do?

[Bulletproof]

Well, today I was playing a game and the game froze up mysteriously and my ears heard a drive that sounded like it was repowering up or restarting its spin, after the respin was done the game continued on. I am using 3 U320 SCSI drives in RAID :( and I decided to use the adaptec controller BIOS to check the drives, it found a bad block in drive #2 and it asked me if I wanted to remap the block. I'm not sure if remapping will cause my filesystem to mess up and corrupt or if it will erase the drive, does anyone know what will happen? I'm never going to spend alot of money on HDs again :rolleyes: The drives were perfectly fine when I bought them and I even have heatsink & fans on them, out of all the hardware I buy, it seems HDs seem to die first.

To remap a block will just mark that part of the HDD unusable and automatically assign one of the spare blocks to be used instead. This is all transparent to the filesystem.

Your power supply could be the culprit. Make sure you have a high quality, powerful ps especially since you spent cash on those SCSI drives.
