SCSI Drives failing

[Guest]

The device, \Device\ScsiPort1, did not respond within the timeout period.

The event log view gives this error
The device, \Device\ScsiPort1, did not respond within the timeout period.

I DO BELIEVE MY HARDWARE I GOING BAD...But what hardware is the question

It appears that my RAID5 Consisting of 3 drives shows to be recoverable
But only two drive lights appear to be light and the drives are REALY SLOW seeming to indicate that
Drive 1 maybe gone

HOWEVER this error tends to tell me that maybe it is the SCSI controller

Any advice as too wheather or not this is the controller or the drive

I'm happy to replace either, but just need to know which to replace?

You might also have a BIOS and/or miniport driver problem. If ScsiPort has
an I/O that is ready to be sent to a given HBA (or rather, the HBA's
miniport driver) and the miniport driver doesn't respond within a given
time period, which is typically the timeout value of the request, ScsiPort
will think the device has become non-responsive and issue a reset. When it
does this it also generates the error message you mentioned. What is the
source of the message?
