Hmmm... Sounds worth a shot, I have three cables of a different variety that I can try out - they seem heavier as they are less flexible, I'll check to see if there is any label to tell the gauge of the wire.
Thanks for the reply - Jason
Hello Kandor -
Did you ever get a resolution to your WD drives coming up "missing" from the Raid5 array? I have the exact same issue on a new PC w/ the Asus P5B-E (ICH8R chipset) and three WD2500KS drives. I found a utility that can apparently turn the TLER on/off, but I'm wary to use...
