I just finished building a new machine and while monitoring the event viewer and HD Tune Pro I noticed that both of these are showing an error.
Event viewer throws a "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0." typically when I have the computer do some sort of write activity.
I was concerned about this so I installed and ran HD Tune Pro and noticed that under the Health tab it labeled "Ultra DMA CRC Error Count" as Warning. I watched the warning count carefully over the night and it went from 300 to 1035 in the morning today.
I powered down and checked the SATA 6.0 cable to the hard drive to make sure it was connected properly and did the same for the end to the motherboard. I restarted and it seems to be better, but the same error shows up occasionally in Event Viewer and HD Tune Pro.
I am concerned that this might be a HD issue. I will try to get my hands on a different SATA cable and see if the problem persists.
The hard drive I am using is a Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB. In terms of practical use, the machine is working alright. I have noticed some serious hangs when doing write/read heavy operations, but besides that everything else seems alright in my stress tests. I just want this error to get resolved before it causes serious damage / I start using this machine seriously.
