Sorry to bother, but this is really bugging me! I can't seem to find anybody else with the same problem. What steps should I be taking to figure this out? I'm thinking I should be trying other kernel versions and/or plugging drives in different places. I don't think the motherboard is faulty, and I seem to be getting good speeds (~70mbs) to all four drives.
