Thanks Michael, I have already been through the SCSI Select/HostRAID ROM and configured the disks as RAID0. I am unfortunately at work at this moment, so I can not check ar0, however I seem to recall it is already taken by my ATA array. I had not mentioned this array as it is only for storage and the problem exists regardless of whether or not it is connected.
