might be worth a shot sorry george hope I'm not offending you other have had success doing this
Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Hard Disk -> Turn off hard disk after -> Setting: never. they don't wake up quick enough

Update with some hope:


You know through my searches I heard that can cause this issue I am having.

Also I heard turning off the native command queuing can fix the issue as well.

So I decided to try turning the NCQ off on my drives - so far the error has not came back - now last time thought I repaired the issue it came back. So I'll keep you guys informed - since most the time the error was popping up when I was running defrag, and course I go afk when it does this.

EDIT:
I turns out also my hard-drives are already set to never turn off.

Ok going say after two days, and a successful defrag, the error has not popped back up.

Turning the NCQ off through device manger on my hard-drives seems to have solved the issue.

But the true question is - why was it popping up at such a random time, and why has turning it off fixed it.

I tell you what computer can be weird!

Sorry I never got to getting the program to work George, but as of right now I don't see any reason to. Course it could just be dumb luck that the error stopped xD!

Replying - again to say yes think the error is gone haven't seen it since.

Yet call me paranoid I still wonder if one is going to fail, maybe its just hitachi's are just loud.

George I tried using other S.M.A.R.T programs - mainly windows base ones and none reconized the hard-drive could this be because they are in raid 0?

Also I getting this warning in Eventviewer tho - Process 1536 (\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Windows\System32\spoolsv. exe) has opened key \REGISTRY\USER\S-1-5-21-1962792063-2375349563-1605844502-1000_CLASSES\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache

Event ID - 1530

Hey all..

Just a thought.. HHD Health might give you an idea if there is something off in that regard.

I'm sure madmatt has some ideas for you Zakane.

I've tried that one - no matter what window's base one I use it never "sees" the drives basically the programs act like I have no hard-drives at all.

Yet as I said I ran Hitachi' Official diagnostics program and they passed - also had a "S.M.A.R.T" area under the hard-drive details which said it was Healthy.

I am starting to think now maybe it could be vibration - the case is Aluminum and has a different type of hard-drive cage then I am use to. The two hard-drives have those "anti" shock rubber covered screws. I can hear it accessing and the case does "rumble" slightly.

at this point I am ready to let it just go and one dies its dies. Thinking getting Windows 7 and probably just get a new hard-drive then since I'll probably reformat fresh install with it.

Anyway since we on the topic - any suggestion for hard-drives?

Hello again Zakane.

I find that quite interesting.. something must be interfering.. but I am not the one to be able to tell you what

The aluminum case will do that.. it transmits sounds a lot more than a regular steel type case would.. doesn't necessarily mean the drives are going bad.. just that you can hear them more than in other cases.

Since you would like some info on hard drives, some info on how you plan to use them might help.
We have some really talented Hardware gurus here, Matt being one of them, that are certain to have some ideas for you.

I'll give a bump in that direction to peak interest in looking at this.

Again, I thank you for your patience.
