Im having the strangest problems, i recently got a nice 16bay hotswap chenbro chassis, and temporarily im running my raid array off a Foxconn board with nvraid.
The problem is, if theyre detected at all (maybe 1 time in 10) the raid takes at least 10 minutes to detect (usually instant), and then fails either during booting windows, or shortly thereafter. It just completely loses the drives, locking up in the process.
I swap the drives out from behind the backplane, plug them directly into the mobo, instant detection, no stability issues.
(this could be unrelated, i havent thoroughly tested yet, so treat it as another problem for now)
Something also went very odd with all the drives on the system, the raid arrays which normally get 100mb/s are pushing 12, and the IDE boot drive, which normally does about 40 is pushing no more than 5. Something is very odd here, im going to try the drives in another pc tonight and see if they behave better there.
