Default Re: Crash!!!!

Andy, Your the Hardware guy ............. but I don't think you ever had a 2200.

Since the units rebooting on it's own, which is very odd for the 2200 to do that since you have to hold the power button down and hold for it to start.

500 (x2) gig HD's are very large for these units. I never used past 300gig. Now if these are lower rpm HD (5400rpm) you don't have the heat or power requirements. What brand are the HD's? You may want to look up the power specs of the HD's and see if it's exceeding the PS for a start. If I recall once you hit the 4 platters you were over spec on 7200rpm drives, if I recall. Then their were mfg that add firmware so they could not be used in RAID5. Not sure if that included Raid1.

To test for heat, remove the chassis out of the case. Cover the sides so it draws from the front exhausting from the back. If you have a small fan you can use externally, do so for added cooling.
