Motherboard: M2N-SLI Deluxe
3 discs in RAID0: WD 1601ABYS-01C0A0 WD RE2
The chipset the RAID is connected to: NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI
Those three are the only discs connected to that chipset. By the way, can I connect more not ruining the raid?
Windows is on separate disc connected to separate chipset: JMicron JMB363
This raid disc was used for four years for storage and Photoshop templates (intensive use, but not 24/7).
It became hard to read and after force restart (because of lockup) the system did check disc for errors. It found and fixed some. Several times. But Raid Tool from NVidia Panel was not prompting about any errors. I tested each disc separately with this tool and it shows "disc passed the test".
When windows gives an error message with number, I found out that it means something like "the system is not able to reach/communicate with the particular device"
Now is almost impossible to read or write to that disc and I keep that computer of in order not to make things even worse. Though, what could be worse if it will remain unreachable. It contains most of my work for the last few years.
What can be done?
What is the reason?
How to detect the reason why it happened? Maybe then will be possible to make things just a little bit better and save the files.
First of all what did happened? Why raid tool decides the discs passed the test?
May it be the chipset? Voltage? Temperature?
Thanks for any help, situation is really bad.
