    I assume you meant fails at 252MB. Do you mean that copying data from SATA RAID array to IDE drive storage fails when it reaches a volume of 252MB? Is it that way every time? To me, it sounds like a drive(s) overheating.

    If I'm on the wrong track here, do a search here at the forums on "3114" or Silicon Image. We have a couple of long threads on issues with that RAID controller.

    many thanks for your thoughts,it turned out it was due to the drive being set to a SIMPLE drive rather than a ACTIVE drive.This solved the problem.
    Thanks again.
