Looks like the problem is port-related. The first PSU (Multilane) offers (measured) 12,20 V on both lanes. This falls during read/write access on all drives attached down to 12,10 V. The second PSU (Singlelane) offers (measured) 11,75 V. This doesn't change during read/write access on all drives attached. I tested the second PSU without anything attached and it still offered 11,75 V. I will try to add another PSU this evening and remeasure. Currently the whole machine needs about 350W. The PSUs are Targan 500W (Multilane - 2x12V 10A) and Noname 350W (Singlelane - 1x12V 10A) so this 'should' be enough... This night i copied the backup back to the first raid (the Maxtor drives) without any error but during the transfer i got this on the second (mounted but unused) raid: ata10.00: failed to read SCR 1
