I also think that PSU shouldn't be the problem as I see they > eat much less in operation than at spinup. It's not that simple tho. Some PSUs which happily spin up all the drives simultaneously have problems maintaining stable operation afterwards. Anyways, if you used two separate PSUs, and didn't see any change in failure pattern (ie. drives connected to certain PSU fails or swapping to which PSU the board is connected alleviates the problem), it's probably safe to say it's not PSU problem. > Now I replaced the MB and it runs with a different Gigabyte MB with > the 8 disk in SW RAID6 connected to the 2*4 on board SATA > connectors (these now use 2+4*ata_piix and 2 ahci kernel drivers) > and the 2 system disk is on an add-on Silicon Image SiI 3512 card. > > Since the problem is not seen immediately I can't tell whether it is > better now.
