Not particularly helpful saying Seagate are unrelaible if that's what you have!
Ron, checkout Seagate SeaTools. They should tell you if there's anyhing wrong with the drive. BTW, what drives do you have, e.g. Baracuda 7,200 RPM?

I think that the point about the drives getting hot may be right on. The drives are Seagate 9GB 5.25" full height drives - real bricks. I used them because I got a case of 5 drives new for $100. The two Seagates are spaced next to each other because of the full height - there isn't any other room in the drive bays. I'll make sure that the case has extra cooling - I already have push - pull case fans, but perhaps I can arrange something across the drives a little better. Oh - the drives are SCSI Ultra, not Ultra-Wide, because the controller I have is Ultra, not UW. I don't think I can get a Barracuda that is not UW - I'd have to look.
