Another update, as I had somewhat of a possible epiphany. As I stated, I had already moved all the data off to a JBOD array and was planning on destroying the virtual disk and doing some extended testing, which I did tonight. Not only did re-creating the virtual drive not have any effect, I...

Unfortunately, after 2 days of no issues, the problem has returned. At a loss, so my last step is to destroy the RAID, recreate it, and then copy everything back from the JBOD. At this point, I have no idea what the problem could even be.

Just an update, as this seems to be fixed. This week, I spent most of the week swapping out the few "Coolspin" Hitcachis in the array for Hitachi Ultrastars, making all 16 drives non-variable speed 7200RPMs. This did not fix the timeout problems. At my wits end, I took the drives I took out...

So, it's late, and I'm tired, but I thought I'd give an update. New power supply arrived. Replaced, benchmarked, same issue. Image backup of the system, then set SATA to IDE on the motherboard, and re-installed Windows 7. Tested fresh out of the box ... same issue. Interestingly enough, the...

Technome: Thanks for the continued ideas. And I'm *so* glad this isn't a client, and is rather my home solution. I'd probably have bitten the bullet and rebuilt the whole SAN at this point. Definitely getting some grey hairs with this. The SSD firmware is an interesting note, and I hadn't...

Although I neglected to mention it, the SAN doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, uses an old Matrox VGA card (just enough to get local video if I want to), and the only other card in it is a Quad Intel/Pro 1000 GB NIC (which I have taken out and it still does the random freeze-ups). So it's very bare...

For a couple of weeks now, I've been chasing some PCIe RAID port resets that are sent to my LSI 84016E RAID controller that I cannot seem to solve. For several weeks, the SAN performed great, and then began having regular and erratic Event 129 Reset to Device errors. Anytime that the RAID is...
