I setup a new RAID1 and it seems to be working well, I'm using a pair of seagate 7200.12 1TB drives on a Rosewill RC-201 controller (Sil3512).
The problem is every once in awhile (seems every hour or so) I will get the message from vista saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem" asking to back up or not. This is bewildering for the following reasons, so im just seeing if Vista is retarded or there really could be a problem...
1) installed the drives straight from the packing into the raid setup formatted and started getting the problems during formatting the drives (the long format)
2) Alarmed by the message, i moved them to a different computer and hooked them up as individual drives (not raided) and ran the full format, Barts stuff test for a full day straight, seagate's dos tools for long and short tests, and examined the SMART report in details and everything checked out. Nothing was wrong and SMART was never tripped on any of the drives nor did i see the windows error appear on the other PC.
3) I moved the hard dives to my home server back on the raid card and the message occurred again. At this point the raid GUI software is reporting everything is ok from SMART for both disks.
so the question is, is there really a problem? What would you do next? Seems like the RAID card could be causing this for some reason but im not sure why it would... In considering just returning everyhing back to newegg since its within the 30days.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
