I was using a pair of g.skill falcon 128's in raid 1 as my data drive for a static, read only sql database. (trying to get better read performance than mechanical drives)
(windows server 2008, sql 2008 server)
While running a backup, both drives quit at the same time Sat am.
Neither drive is now recognized on a separate PC running XP using device manager.
Newegg comments list a number of doa's, or quit after 1 week, but this is weird - both quit at once?
I used raid1 so if one or the other quit, the database would still be up, and I could just replace the drive.
I've downloaded the 1571 update, but I need to find a pc with a spare sata port and XP so I can try the update. Does anyone expect this might fix the drives?
