So, I have 8 drives hooked to a single Perc 5/i and set as individual RAID 0 arrays for use in FlexRAID.

About every day or so, one drive or another dislodges itself from the Perc 5/i and becomes a "foreign" configuration.

All I have to do is import it or clear the foreign drives and relocate it, and it works fine.

That's annoying enough, but every time it happens I have to recompute my parities on the FlexRAID pool, which takes 6 hours!!

I've checked the data and power cables, and everything seems fine. I can't see why a hardware issue would be occurring.

Is this just some problem with the Perc 5/i cards..?
