I am putting a new machine together and I have dual raptor raid 1 for the
root, which works just fine under all stress tests.
Then I have the WD 750 GiB drive (not RE2, desktop ones for ~150-160 on
sale now adays):
I ran the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde
(as it is always a very good idea to do this with any new disk)
And sometime along the way(?) (i had gone to sleep and let it run), this
occurred:

Usually when I see this sort of thing with another box I have full of
raptors, it was due to a bad raptor and I never saw it again after I
replaced the disk that it happened on, but that was using the Intel P965
chipset.
For this board, it is a Gigabyte GSP-P35-DS4 (Rev 2.0) and I have all of
the drives (2 raptors, 3 750s connected to the Intel ICH9 Southbridge).
I am going to do some further testing but does this indicate a bad drive?
Bad cable? Bad connector?
As you can see above, /dev/sdc stopped responding for a little bit and
then the kernel reset the port.
Why is this though? What is the likely root cause? Should I replace the
drive? Obviously this is not normal and cannot be good at all, the idea
is to put these drives in a RAID5 and if one is going to timeout that is
going to cause the array to go degraded and thus be worthless in a raid5
configuration.
Can anyone offer any insight here?
Thank you,
Justin.
