That's possible, but that's no reason to kill my array. I have the server in my cube for now while I'm setting it up, but plan to put it in a server room later on. I don't, however, want a simple heat issue to cause me to loose all my data. Should I try raid6?

So when I couldn't get the raid10 to work, I decided to do raid5. Everything installed and looked good. I left it overnight to rebuild the array, and when I came in this morning, everything was frozen. Upon reboot, it said that 2 of the 4 devices for the raid5 array failed. Luckily, I didn't have any data on it, but how do I know that the same thing won't happen when I have real data on it?
I kind of feel that the problem might be that I'm using SATA drives, and they probably tried to self-correct and error and took too long, and the raid controller assumed that it was a bad drive, and took it out of the array. The question is, is there anything I can do about it?
It could also be that the drives are overheating.
