Constant drive activity

[flwolf]

I recently built a new PC and setup a Raid 1. I have noticed that my hard drive activity light continually flashes. It flashes like this: blip.......blip.........blip blip.......blip, so it's not constant non stop activity, just quick little blips.

It's a brand new build rarely used but I went ahead and ran a virus scan and spyware scan and nothing was found. This is my first raid setup, so I don't know if this is normal nor not.

Computer specs:

AMD X2 4200+
ECS KN1 SLI Extreme mobo
2gig ram
2 Seagate 250's in raid 1
7800GT
Using onboard sound

Any suggestions?

That is normal for RAID1 arrays, as far as mine have gone. That's the synchronizing running in the background to keep the drives identical.

Thanks for the info. You've put my mind at ease.
