Why does my GA-EP35-DS3R lock a RAID0 drive "Read Only?"
Hi Guys,
I recently put a pair of identical SATA drives in my PC on the purple Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R SATA connector in RAID0. The RAID0 drive worked fine for a couple days, then changed itself to "Read Only" and would not allow me to write or change files! To attempt a fix, I reformatted the drive then set security so everyone could read and write to the drive, this also failed. Similar with universal share, i.e., everyone can read and write. It worked for a few days, the RAID0 drive went to read only. In case the trouble was caused by Gigabyte's drivers, I went to JMicron's site and downloaded the newest drivers for the controller. THese worked for a couple days, then the RAID0 drive went to read only, as well. I was using Vista x64 Ultimate, and had this problem. I am now using Server 2008, and still have the same trouble. I thought maybe it was the new drives, so I switched with two older drives in RAID0 on one of the Intel connectors. After a couple days, those older drives newly located on the Gigabyte SATA RAID0 controller ALSO went to "Read Only." The newer pair of drives in RAID0 have worked flawlessly on the Intel connector since they were re-located. It seems it is the RAID0 controller or drivers on the Gigabyte SATA purple connector that is causing the trouble. I did not have this trouble when I used the Gigabyte IDE/SATA controller as standard IDE/SATA with no RAID0. Any suggestions how to get the RAID0 working on the Gigabyte connector? Mindy |
