Hey I have now had my two 3 TB HDD's in RAID 1 for a couple of days and every day they recync which takes many hours. It kind of ruins the purpose of redundancy when it's just wearing out the drives.

 

When I search on Google people suggest it's something with the power or maybe a software to hardware communication error.

 

Though I can easily restart my PC after resync is done without it starting to resync again. I can also shut down the PC and turn it on again with no problem. It's after I have slept and turn the PC on again when it's a new day it starts to resync. (Yes I turn off the power in the socket and pull out the cable when I have shut down the PC properly).

 

My guess is that it maybe has something to do with the motherboard? Maybe fast boot or something? When the PC is shut down and all fans stops, some red light on the motherboard is still glowing.

 

The way I created the RAID 1 volume was just in Disk Management -> add mirror. Don't know if there's anything to be done in BIOS or something.

 

Here's my system:

 

Windows 10 Pro

 

Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM008 3 TB RAID 1
Western Digital Red WD30EFRX 3 TB RAID 1

Intel i7-4790K @ 4.7 Ghz overclock
Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix GS
Kingston HyperX FURY Black 2x8 GB (DDR3)
Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB
Asus Z97-PRO Gamer
Corsair RM750

 

Other PCI-E connected devices: TP-LINK TL-WN881ND (wifi adapter), Creative Sound Blaster Z (soundcard)

 

I really appreciate some help or some clever thougts on the matter :) Thanks in advance

Wow apparently I can't run AHCI on my SSD and RAID on the two HDD's separately. So I culdn't start up my pre-installed Windows when making a RAID in the BIOS.

 

RAID is such an old and outdated prehistoric technology I can't believe how bad it is.

 

When I make a mirror in Windows it even resyncs even though there's no data on it! wow.....

I guess I stick with the Windows mirror but it's just so bad.
