Hey all, I've been busy setting up a RAID 0 array of 3 TB 7200.14 Barracuda's and have run into some problems, my latest of which is the complete but temporary 'freezing' of my HDDs when 1. loading Windows, during the logo screen and 2. during software and driver installations. The HDD activity light stops blinking completely. Windows is still somewhat usable, I can move the mouse, open the start menu and such, but not much else. Installations freeze, web pages don't load, etc. Seems like some controller/queueing problem to me, but I'm no expert.
Also, I installed a non-UEFI Windows on these disks a few days ago (which didn't work because I couldn't address the whole 6 TB), and that worked just fine stability-wise. I'm using the latest Intel SRT(e) 12.8.4.1000 drivers, and even inserted an Intel 'SataDriver' module (http://www.win-raid.com/t19f13-Intel-EFI-quot-SataDriver-quot-quot-GopDriver-quot-BIOS-Modules.html) into my BIOS. Which is the latest MSI ClickBIOS, 4.3.
In this state my computer is pretty much unusable, freezes can take up to a few minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
