Hi Herb, first thing I did was check all connections and replace the power supply (wanted to go to a 450 watt anyway). Second was to replace the SCSI cable and terminator. It kept alternating the error between 2 different drives. I finally replaced the RAID controller itself and no more problems. Of course this required a Ghost to an IDE, array rebuild and Ghost back again. Giant PITA but it's fixed now. ;-(
