I don't have any experience with the Hitachi 1TB SATA drives, but I know an outfit that was trying out the Seagate 1TB drives and had 8 out of 12 fail their burn-in (a 3 day torture test) My luck with consumer SATA drives has been incredibly dismal, with ~40 of them in service I see multiple failures a year, including drives being DOA and dying after a few weeks of service. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one or both of the drives was bad right out of the box. It could be something else of course, but don't discount the fact that they could be bad from your troubleshooting just because they are new. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGpjdNJvkB8SevrssRAiFwAJ0SqBeMcqvv3zDU4o8wY91VIJgdPACgiqMZ +0S7aEdlAPWZ1YpBhngjggI= =Z8nz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
