What is wrong with my Raid?

[iain]

Hi there :-) 

 

This is the specifications of my server.

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Socket AM3+

Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P

Ram: Crucial 8GB DDR3 1333MHz Ballistix Sport Memory

SSD : Crucial v4 32GB SATA 3GB 2.5 SSD

 

I bought 2x of http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006KCX0UE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I found out that the raid controller of my motherboard did not support 3tb raid 1. So i bought a High Point RocketRaid 1740. This supports the array and if i configure it and format it it shows up in windows. But after about 2 minuets of copying files to the array the beeper on the card goes off and the logs say.

  2014/8/19 15:30:7 Disk 'ST3000DM001-1ER166-Z5005W3J' at Controller1-Channel1 failed. 2014/8/19 15:29:59

Disk 'ST3000DM001-1ER166-Z5005W0H' at Controller1-Channel2 failed.

If i click refresh on the web gui it works but then it happens again.

 

Thanks

Iain

Have you checked to see if the drives are healthy on their own? i.e. not on the RAID controller?

I had them running fine on my own pc.

They may have a slow spin-up time, which is causing the RAID controller to say they have failed. I would check the specifications for maximum spin-up time on the RAID controller and the spin-up time for your drives.
