I have the following drives in my G75 in RAID.

Though I get this with crystaldiskinfo.

I got these drives when they went on sale for $109.99 @ BUY.COM

Are my drives bad or is my raid config messed up? Is there a way to test?

I had these in RAID in my desktop, i just switched em over to my laptop then turn raid on in BIOS. Should I reformat and start over fresh?

Look at the power on hours raw data. Obviously that is not a number when it supposed to be. Also these Current and worst of 0, I do not think that is correct. I do not see other drives doing that for Current and Worst but Seagate drives do use encoded numbers in some fields. I am just thinking that these drives do not follow the standard of reporting for SMART data so reading them with CrystalDiskInfo or any other program that reads SMART will always tell you they are bad even if they are brand new and working fine.
