I have 2 x 160GB WD drives in RAID and 1 of the drive has decided to show "error 0 occurred" this morning when i boot. I seem to be able to get in to Windows fine apart from 1 occasion when it BSOD.

What ive tried so far:

I ran WD data lifeguard diagnostic however i get the message:

CableTest::Read diagnostics data error

I have checked and swapped the sata cables and managed to get an error saying something about SMART error/failure.

The drive has been sounding a little clunky lately and I ran a full defrag and chkdsk on it last night.

Does this suggest i having a dying drive?
 
just had a few saved games other than that it was my windows drive. No, i havent used that before, can it scan them in raid? The drive is over 3 years old, can it still be rma'd if needed?
 
transfer rate:
minimum: 1.27MB/sec
maximum: 117MB/sec

Seems to be a huge difference here.

No bad sectors
The health tab for the array is n/a but my other storage drive shows data.


Think i might try and format and rebuild the array
 
i removed the drives from the array and formatted them. i installed windows on the working one and then attached the one with errors and the checks with HD tune says the drive is fine :confused:
 
As soon as i selected raid on my mobo i would get the error again, i realised the hdd was still set to raid even tho i had formatted it. I set it back to a non-raid disk which then allowed me to then add it to raid.

I did download the latest version of intel matrix storage manager (8.9 i think) but that only seemed to show in windows as the version in my bios is still V6.1.0.1002
