telthenipper 0 Posted March 11, 2003 I have a weird problem. I have 4 hard disks connected to my raid controller, but not in raid array. They are: 1x Maxtor 40 gb, 1x Segate 40gb, 1x Maxtor 20gb and 1 x WDC 20gb. The problem that i'm having is that when ever I copy a large file to my F: drive (maxtor 20gb) the data in the file is corrupt. I've tried various latency patches but they haven't seemed to work. I've moved the disk around to other controllers and that hasn't seemed to work either. When copying large file between my other 3 hard drives, there are no problems. This problem is driving me mad. Can anyone suggest what the problem is or a fix?

ThC 129 0 Posted March 12, 2003 many people do not know this but DO NOT put a WD and a Maxtor drive on the same channel. The WD drive has error correction in it and the maxtor drive does not. So eventually when you try to write to the drive you will get data corruption. I dont know if this is related to your problem but it is an FYI that a lot of people dont knwo about.
