go south a few weeks ago, and
the 3dmd (3Ware daemon) reported the problem to me. I had a local hardware

Tested with RAID 10 instead of RAID 5, success !
RAID 10 arrays tested: 6xWD200GB and 8xWD200GB both worked
RAID 5 arrays tested: 6xWD200GB and 4xWD200GB both failed
Note: 3ware lists the WD 200GB disk as "Under Test". (ie they have not yet
given it a "Compatible" rating)

Not solved this yet, but I have determined a few things that
