hi almost the same happened to me with Promise RAID card and couple of IDE WDs (100..120GB). finally I found that the source of these problems was noise-reduction feature that is turned on on some IDE disks which were probably designed for desktops. so I upgraded firmware on all WDs to turn it off - and voila - it works just fine ! details here: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=913&p_created=1047068027 hope this helps -- Dimitry On Tuesday 09 March 2004 03:58, Adrian wrote: > 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).
