Hi,

I recently update my system's raid array from 74gb raptors to caviar blacks in raid 0, then decided to try the Velociraptors in raid 0, and now I get 'Raid access failure' messages popping up in Vista64 which results in corruption when I reboot in WinXP (dual boot system). Not sure whats going on here... bad hard drive or incompatible hardware with 680i crapware?

Thanks,

Dave.
 
If a drive was dropped from the array, it was because it didn't have TLER and wasn't designed to run in RAID environments. Since you're using Caviar Blacks instead of RE2's, I'm guessing that was a strong possibility. On the other hand, 680i did have a lot of HDD controller problems... so it could be that, the other, or even both.
 
The issue is with the Velociraptors only....

The caviar blacks are working fine...

Go figure...
 
Just wanted to say you were right on about TLER. I ran the WDTLER utility on these velociraptors and turned on TLER. After that they seem to working fine...

Thanks.

PS: At the time you posted I had no idea what TLER even was and unfortunately it took me three weeks of googling to figure it out...
 
Sorry, I guess I should have posted more info on TLER. Glad you got it working!
 
You shouldn't be sorry wasn't your fault. At the time I thought TLER was a OS software utility and didn't understand. I shouldn't have dismissed it though as I would have save two weeks of my life...

But what a feeling now that its working!
