Hi,
Have a RAID0 set-up with 2 WDC 500GB SATA-II drives. Now this problem is an odd one.

The Intel (ICH10 I think) manager on start-up reports one hard drive as "Error Occured" while the other is fine. I've swapped the cable completley, and plugged the hard drive into a different port, and also switched the ports of the two hard drives. It is always the same hard drive with that error.

Do you reckon it is a faulty hard drive? I am going to try rebuilding the array later and see if that helps, but say it doesn't work, should I RMA the HD or could it be something else?

Cheeeers
 
So I've backed up. However I'm thinking. If I wack the "broken" drive in a working computer will I be able to run tests on it, or does the RAID array need to be deleted no matter what?

Cheers.
