Guys, I need a quick info here.

Is the model ST31000340NS (Barracuda ES.2) affected by the issues discussed in this thread?

It will be crazy and time-consuming for me to read thru all 46 pages shocking.gif

Here's one data point for you. I have 8x ST31000340NS (SN06 firmware) connected to an Adaptec 3805 (BIOS build 15753), and the drives drop out during heavy IO. And on more than one occasion already.

I'm waiting to put the array out of production before I do more isolation tests on it, because I still don't know whether it's a controller or disk issue.

Argh...we got different firmwares, cant really compare directly, isn't?
My guess is, I have an older firmware SN04, is that right?
When did you bought those drives, wKkaY?

Bought them in the UK, about 2 months ago.

My ST31000340NS just died (SN05 firmware). It was running on RAID0 (x3) on a Mac Pro. The other 2 disks of the same model survived but as expected there are no survivors when it comes to data. 

Now I have to re-edit some videos from scratch as I don't have a full backup.

Damn it.

Sorry, I wish I was there to advise you not to use RAID-0. Anyway, may I cite this case as an example when I see someone thinking about using RAID0?
