I've recently updated my data drives on my Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard to use two 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD's (connected to port 2 and port 4). I set them up as RAID1 using the onboard AMD RAIDXpert utility (Ports 1-4 manage RAID devices, with port 5/6 being non-RAID).
My OS/boot drive is a separate 500G SATA SSD on port 5. I do have a majority of my "user" data (documents, etc.) on the 2TB mirrored drives.
I've been experiencing a rash of errors on the RAID volume. It'll mirror fine. It'll run for a day or two, then one of the drives (it's not always the same drive) will throw some sort of error, typically starting with a "Task 30 disk error on disk", followed by a "BSL Update on disk". After a few of these, I'll get a "Disk Setdown" and the the logical drive goes Critical, and (often) a "Disk Unplugged" error.
When that happens, I typically have to reboot (making no physical changes to the system), and both drives will be online again, and I'll be able to kick off a Rebuild on the logical drive. The rebuild will complete, just fine. Everything will be great for a while, then the cycle begins again.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any recommendations? I'm running 3.7.1540.43 AMD Driver, which from what I can tell is the latest available for my AMD SB950 chipset. I've got full backups, external to the system so I could pretty easily rebuild from a bare metal config, but I'm not sure anything would change.
I'm nearly to the point of just passing the two drives directly into the Windows 10 OS and setting up software RAID 1. This would, presumably, also let me see more data about the SSDs themselves like the TBW and detailed SMART data (which is masked by the RAID controller, currently).
Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions/solutions!
