Default Re: 4100 SMART error

Smart error are just a early indication that drive1 is failing. So all that trouble to get it to take may be for not. You may have a controller problem. Since the smart errors came back on the same IDE chanel.

The problem you have is that the smallest drive must be in position 1 for a raid 5 build. Which puts the problem drive back in the same position. I would like it moved to a different position to confirm the drive problem and not hardware related.

If the MFG has a hd checker I would use it. Use something to test it.
