Hello, Chris.
I've had some problems with 'cheap' SATA cables, which don't quite come
of when they are displaced in the case but subsequently they don't make
a good contact and the SATA driver tries to drop the connection speed...
My advice is to try swapping the drives on the ports to see if it's the
port/cable or the drive that is faulty. As far as I'm aware 'md' RAID5
works fine in Hardy, but I've not tried RAID1 - I'm using a 3ware 8000
series 'hardware' RAID1 instead + it works extreemly well. However, I do
also use software RAID5 with [EMAIL PROTECTED] drives and (touch wood) I've not
had any problems other than the dodgy cables I've already mentioned :-)
Tony.
