Has anyone done this successfully?
I've been running with 2 drives on the SATA raid.
Decided to add 2 more drive for a 4 drive array.
When I turned on the computer it would power
off after about three seconds. Sometimes it would boot
ok, but most of the time not. If I disconnected any
one of the drives the computer would power up
to the point where it said the array was offline.
After I installed a larger supply it booted ok.
I formatted the array and did a clean install. It worked ok
for a few days, then had some problem with programs
not opening so I ran chkdsk /F which found some
problems on the drive. Fixing these fixed my problems.
But now when I play half-life (which was working before)
when some of the levels are loading the disk works for awhile then I get an
error and have to shut down half-life.
chkdsk does not find any problems now.
So did I mess-up one of my drives with the bad supply?
Or does the P4C800 DLX not support 4 drive arrays
properly? And I'm using the latest drivers from Asus.
