Hi guys! I’m having a problem and hoping I can get some help. One of my RAID0’s (I have 3) continues to fail when I run CrystalMark. The other 2 have no issues at all. The RAID0 that I’m referring to is the 4 Mushkin Chrono’s 240GB SSD’s.
When we run CrystalMark to test the speed, it “prepare’s” and then my RAID controller will screen and we get an error message saying that it failed. When we reboot, if we don’t unhook and hook up the cables for the failed SSD, it will show as missing. If we unplug and plug back in, then we can rebuild the RAID with no issues.
We have tested each SSD individually and they seem to be fine. We have also tested the 4 SSD’s in RAID0 on 3 different machine’s and 3 different controller’s, all yielding the same results. We’ve tried different cables, different power supply and as I mentioned completely different machine’s.
*****EDIT***** Just to be clear, the SSD’s are hooked to the RocketRAID 2720SGL. We have tested them in a couple of different machines and on different RAID controllers with different cables. We also feel that the SSD’s are testing slow but close to the same speeds when tested individually (<400mb/s). Also, I just remembered that all but 1 drive drops. So there is only 1 of the 4 that never drop from the RAID, but still tests at the slow speeds.
Any advice? Is it possible we need a firmware update on these brand new SSD’s?
Below is my complete setup. Thanks!
