When the card has an issue all of the ports seem to stop responding to commands. I am guessing the firmware on the card somehow crashes or gets into some sort of endless loop. I reported it to marvel, they blamed the OS'es ACHI drivers,even though the AHCI drivers worked perfectly fine with the built in AMD ports.
So we've got the crap drives on the crap controllers ... would it make any difference if you put the Greens on the motherboard, and the Caviars on the Marvell? Caviars I believe are good quality drives that might take enough load off the Marvell to enable it to work sort-of okay ...
Oh - and replace the Greens pretty soon - I don't know how they compare against other drives quality-wise, but they are optimised in a raid anti-pattern.
