My feeling is that it is NOT physical disk or a problem with the disk drives. My experience in the past is that if the RAID controller cannot successfully read or write blocks from either drive in the array, the array alarm will sound. The array controller shows no problems at all with the disk, and I have no red lights indicating a bad drive. Just seems rather strnage. I'll try doing the dd later at a slower time and let you know how I make out.
