Well I was enjoying it too, it really was rapid! Had it for three days. Then tonight when downloading hl2 lost coast through steam, it just gave me blue screen of death and reset. Then when I re-started I spent almost an hour in checkdisk whilst it tried to repair EVERY file on there that had been "orphaned" apparently. It eventually went on to windows but it just dies after a minute of trying to open whatever file you are trying to access (the web, game etc) So I've had to go back to a single drive and re-format etc.
Is it likely to be a dodgy HDD, or just that my Setup doesn't like RAID? My idea was re-install windows on both and have one installed at a time and just install games, surf the net etc. and see if anything happens. Is this a good idea?
 
Saved Maxtor's own diagnostic program to floppy and used that. It took about 4 minutes to tell me One of the HDD's is S***ed :rolleyes: Gotta love maxtor huh! Which is faster, RMA'ing it straight to maxtor or to the place I got it?!
 
But I'd want both drives the same as It's for a RAID 0, sending me a seagate back is all well and good but then I'd have a mis-match of drives?
