That would appear to be the voltage issue I mentioned in my last post, |
| 12 |
that I was writing when you posted the above. Pretty good odds, I'd say. |

Also, since the RAID array would be powered directly off the power supply, |
| 15 |
not from the board, that points squarely at it. Replace it with a good |
| 16 |
one. Check ratings for the 12 volt rail hard drives usually use, in |
| 17 |
particular. Some of the higher end supplies actually have two |
| 18 |
electrically separate 12-volt rails, distributing the stress. However, |
| 19 |
you probably don't actually /need/ that feature, as long as the rating for |
| 20 |
the one is high enough to handle all those drives (plus additional |
| 21 |
accessories, CD/DVD burner, perhaps, and USB bus powered devices and the |
| 22 |
like). |
