Hi T,

you sure your system's memory is OK? Maybe the problem is with the system RAM, not all these incredibly bad hard drives you have been getting....I can understand a 1 % failure rate, even 5% at times, but, your % is way higher than that.

NEWDIRECTION: an on line retailer? couldn't find their web site. (Did Newegg buy Directron and become NEWDIRECTRON?)

For PC parts, I would recommend sticking with one of the big three, and would use Newegg out of those unless there was a compelling reason not to.....

Good choice with the samsungs i believe. I have 2 of the 750's, non raid, In raid 0, and they seem good and stable with desktop raid of 0 or 1 and the read speeds are nice. I got 136 MB/s Average per HD tune read speeds. I believe stripe size was 64 Kb, I heard that was ideal.
 
Have you tried another RAID controller? I run 8 drives identical to yours (retail 320 GB 7200.10) on a PERC 5 in RAID 50 and have had no issues. I did have one drive go bad, but it was legitimately bad (nasty squealing noises) and even then it never actually dropped out of the array.
