Hello,
Hopefuly someone out there can help me out. I have an Intel 875PBZ
motherboard with 2x SATA Seagate 120GB HDDs (ST3120026AS) and for a
while i had them running in a RAID 0 setup. One day, all of a sudden,
the drive(s) began to make a "chirping" noise. This noise was always
accompanied with momentary freezes in XP for the slightest of
operations such as opening IE or Explorer to playing games. Shortly
there after i would get corrupted file messages and need to run CHKDSK
upon next reboot. After taking apart the RAID and setting both drives
as independent drives and after 3 hard drive RMAs, the end result is
always the same, hard drive(s) begin to chirp and im in a constant
loop of having to run chkdsk. The only logical conclusion to me is
that the SATA controller is somehow not functioning.
Has anyone outthere experienced this same type of behavior from
drives? Any input is greatly appreciated.
Leo.
