Ratdude's Main rig V2

Re: Ratdude's Main rig V2

And she died again, same symptoms. Crash, reboot, RAID array failed. AFAIK the BBU is OK.

I've tried the following:

-Re-recapped the PSU
-Memtest86 passed (so not a RAM issue?)
-Swapped BBU batteries (Or at least I think I did)
-Swapped RAID Cards and BBU controllers
-Swapped HDDs and SATA cables.

So why do I keep getting corrupted hard drives?

I'm wondering if changing to an LSI card would have any benefit... as I'm running out of ideas. The issue seems too low-level for the RAMdisk mod to be the cause... and back when I used to run it as a true main rig, it never did this (then again, that was on the 9500 controller, not the 9550).

PAE issues? I thought this was the system you had running it. Corrupt HDD other wise screams out write caching corruption which could be a bad HDD itself or a controller issue. I used to have an adaptec SCSI controller that would do this exact thing. I finally got annoyed with it and shitcanned the controller, which fixed it. This was back in the U2W days.
