failing controller or drive?

Posted by NWSTech, 03-28-2009, 08:34 PM

hello, one of my servers has 2x250gb hard drives in hardware RAID 0 using a 3ware controller, but ive now got the following error message 3 times prior to 3 server crashes, my server supplier beleves it one of the drives failing (i have backups on a non raid drive so rthats fine) but i suspect the controller, whats everyone else think...

Hi I would agree with your supplier that the drive on Port 1 is failing. The drive could be failing in such a way to cause the card to reset. The only way to tell is to replace it, but becuase its RAID 0 not sure how you could replace it, without messing up the FileSystem. Thanks
