Are these by chance 72GB drives? HP has issued new firmware for the RAID controller and the drives. Get the 7.91 firmware CD from HP's web site. All the 72GB 3.5 inch SCSI drives are affected. We haven't seen the problem, but got the heads up from our VAR.

I have about 3-4 HP DL380G4's in which I am coming up with problems backing up, continous disk errors, although I have run chkdsk from scheduling it when it reboots chkdsk c: /F /R and I have done it through the recovery console chkdsk c: /P /R. I boot back into windows after it says it fixes the disk, and run chkdsk again to verify that the corruption is gone, but no dice it hands about 15% into checking indexes and just stays there for hours. I have a suspicion I have a bad hard-drive(s) in my Raid 5 array, but there are no alerts from the HP drivers, nor physical indications of disk issues on the drives themselves. Only think I could possibly do is update the RAID controller code from Smart Array 6i (2.58) to a new code, and look to see if there is new hard drive ROMPAQ to update the drive code and see if this helps it out. Anyone have any other ideas about what I might be able to try, the corruption is already affecting one of my backups and hate to see it cause the server to totally crash and have to be rebuilt from scratch.
