Connected on the scsi chain are 3 ibm 4Gig, 50 pin drives that form the raid array and an hp dat drive. After days of operation the dpt controller starts beeping indicating a drive failure, if we rebuild the array without replacing the "failed" drive it continues to work for another couple of days and then starts beeping again - often it is an entirely different drive that has failed. We have replaced all three drives and have put the machine onto a UPS, but still the problem occurs. Can anyone help?
