It was actually a single SATA drive on a desktop system, but yes, it was not in a RAID configuration. Are you running the selftest on both drives? It would be interesting to see the results of that...
Well this is interesting: smartctl -H /dev/sda returns "SMART Health Status: OK". But when I try to start a test with smartctl -t long /dev/sda I immediately get "Extended Background Self Test Failed". Apparently my drives don't work with smartctl since smartctl -l error /dev/sda returns: Error Counter logging not supported Error Events logging not supported I checked the BIOS and SMART reporting is turned on, although from the description of this option it sounds like this controls whether failures are reported during the BIOS boot-up.
