I’ve previously run WinDlg SMART and Extended tests on all drives. They are fine.
The controller does not support RAID. However, whether the disks are treated as single entities or connected in software RAID, the problem is observed. This is true in each of Windows 7, Windows Server 2012R2, and Fedora 20 so the issue appears to be hardware and not software.
It’s not an overheating problem. The problem can occur immediately after the PC has been booted or only after 30 minutes or longer.
Moving drives around or changing cables doesn’t fix the problem.
My hypothesis is either I have a bad controller OR there is a compatibility issue between the controller and the drives,
Please let me know if you’;d like more information.
Thanks.
