Media 100 I/xr Crashes… Any ideas?

[Holycowseattle]

As I recall…and it has been a while…the file icons were still movie-esque…but they were darker. Grey perhaps? Yes it happened with us as well.

The stange part of it all…is that we ran EVERY damn utility under the sun on the drives and they ALL reported the drives as fine. WE would re-low level format the drives…rebuild the raid…and it would work for an hour or two…then start having trouble again as it would fill up as we restored data.

The drives (2 out of 8 of them) finally stopped responding to low-level formatting. (Died electronically) And then we finally knew DEFINITIVELY that two of the drives had died.

Again, my biggest and most burning frustration was with the Myraid of utilities we tried on the drives with no success. (To my dismay, they ALL repeatedly reported the damaged drives as “fine”.) Again and again…even the apple disk utility reported the drives as “ok.” Yet they weren’t.

Good luck.
