A few years ago I had the same problem with an ARC-1220 and Western Digital RE2 WD5000YS disks. The Areca marked the disks as bad, but after removing and reinserting it back, it was working fine again. It was a bug in the firmware of the disks, sometimes they took too long to respond to S.M.A.R.T requests from the RAID controller and then the Areca decided that this disk was broken. A firmware upgrade from WD fixed the problem, but for doing the upgrade the SATA disks needed to be attached to a regular SATA controller (not the Areca RAID controller). The flash utility needed to be started from a DOS disk. bye Fabian
