Hello all,
I just put together a new Q6600 system on a GA-P35-DS3P board.
I have 3 WD Sata drives in a raid 5 config. Eery so often, while I'm in the middle of something, I'll hear a drive spin down, then a second later spin back up. When it spins down I'll rush to try and open up the c: drive and navigate around to make sure it's working and it works fine every time. I have noticed no system instability or lack of drive access at all. What could cause this to happen? Should I be concerned? Usually when I run raid 5 it's in a server environment and I've certainly never noticed this phenomenon there.
I have checked the system logs and found nothing amiss, and I've checked the Intel Matrx Storage Console and according to that everything's peachy.
Any thoughts?
