January 30, 201412 yr I had a "minor" issue after a series of blackouts. My USB key went bad and then shortly after my cache drive started to die. Cache drive was a 1st gen ocz vertex SSD. The cache drive would start to corrupt immediately after having the tree rebuilt. Yesterday I got fed-up and bought a new SSD. A sandisk 64gb (sdssdp 064g). This was a direct swap out and replace. Well it didn't work like that. The system this is installed is quite old and bodged together (it's in a gutted out original mac); unraid 5.0.5 Motherboard:D945GLF2 6 drives total, 2 drives are connected to the SATA ports on the mobo (only 2) 4 drives (including new cache, same port as the old unit) are connected to a sata expansion board (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4662523&CatId=1455) psu is around 200watts Everything has worked perfectly on this card until I swapped the drives. I have tried the old drive, a Samsung ssd and an old 2.5" Hitachi hdd I had lying around. All have worked. I suppose i could go and exchange the sandisk for something else if need be. Also the sandisk loads just fine on my mac(only computer at the moment) I have yet to try connecting the drive to the mobo directly and swapping around another drive. I'm at a bit of loss and could really some help figuring it out
