Thanks, cybr, I'll try that. I don't think that it'll be a power drain problem because of the predictable irregularity of the problem, but it could be the raid card causing the issue. If that is the case, Is my only solution to split my computer in two, and set up a file server and a workstation? I hope not because I just made some major modifications to my case to add water cooling which would go in the smaller workstation.

I'm running raid 5, by the way. (If you know all about raid 5 and 3, then skip the next section)Raid 5 is exactly the same as raid 3 except the parity information is spread out on all of the drives. Because every write command has to write to the parity drive in Raid 3, this makes this type of raid only as fast as a single drive. Raid 5 is considerably faster as it can spread this parity information out. I've never seen a time when raid 3 should be used unless someone has a cheap card that can't handle raid 5(as with many built-in motherboard raid capabilities)
