I have an ASUS x58 board and two week old Samsung 1TB HDDs in a raid 1 config. I am running the most recent IMSM drivers. Just recently both HDDs would spin down without warning and only start up when I accessed files on the array. They will even repeatedly start up and spin down during, say, playing a DVD rip from the array. I checked the power profiles in Windows 7 and to be safe I changed the power down time to 100min, yet they still spin down. I'll even play a DVD rip from the drive to ensure constant access and they still shut down.
Everything else in the PC is working just fine, including the SSD and DVD ROM drive connected to the same motherboard SATA controller.
Anyone ever experience these symptoms? What is the best way to troubleshoot? Ay help would be appreciated.
