Hi, I'm having lots of trouble with 3ware RAID cards and would like to know what other people are using.. I basically just need to be able to rebuild degraded arrays remotely (from FreeBSD) as I don't always have console access to the machines and can't power-cycle them. I have various versions of the 3Ware cards (mainly 7006). After a while one of the drives will degrade. If I rebuild it, the same drive just degrades again soon after. I've replaced everything from the HD to RAID card, motherboard and cables - but in the end I have to format the array and rebuild the machine from scratch but then after a while it starts doing the same thing.. This is happening on FreeBSD versions 4.8->5.2 and across completely different hardware (though I've only ever used Maxtor IDE drives). Any help / suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Adrian.
