Okay I have an issue
I know I know. my fault for how I mickey moused these drives. but hopefully you guys can help
Here's the setup
I have 4 x500gb and 1x1tb drives
I got a 4 port sata card off ebay (cheaper one that allowed me to do a 4 drive JBOD basicly)
It appeared in my windows 7 ultimate as just under 2tb. I used win7 to span the 2tb and the 1tb drive in a 3tb drive.
heres the issue:
It seems. from what i gather one or more of the drives has f*cked sectors?
I use them to store media. and the odd onc ein a while I will be watching/cpoying etc a file and the drive span disapears. diskmgmt shows that the 2tb jbod has gone "missing"
So I assumed at first I was hving an issue witht he controller.
for example:
I'm watching an xvid of a discovery channel show. eithe ron the pc or streamed to my 360. at say 20 mins into a 40min show the drive disapears.
I reboot and its back. I try again. 20 min in and poof.
I try to copy said file and at around 50% the drive goes poof.
no matter where I copy to etc.
At first I thought it was the file so I deleted it. now it seems to be random files that cause this.
I got a new 2tb drive and started copying files over. i have moved 75% of them but it drives me nuts.
as everytime I hit a bad file I need to reboot
I am unable to ever get the drive to restart without rebooting. so I assume the controller has reset or something and simply isnt showing the drive?
here's my question. I'm aware I will loose some files. BUT
is there a way for me to either pull the span apart? and access my 1tb and 2tb's seperatly? this would allow me to easily save all the files on the 1tb?
and with the 500's is there anyway to pull a jbod apart and possibly save some files on individual drives? or am I stuck constantly trying to copy and reboot everytime i find a bad sector?
from how many I find now. I assume it's one of the drives gone bad. but with them bein gon a raid card and jbod. is there a boot disk etc I can use to maybe check them each?
Any advise would be great. this has been bugging me for 4 days now. still trying to get my files
