IF it borks, bad hardware, if not, bad drives or bad install. It may be fakeraid,, but it's the only RAID solution that will work in both Windows and Linux and allow to transfer files between both system. If I were to use linux software raid, I wouldn't be able to access the linux partition under windows. I doubt it's a hardware issue for the following reasons: 1-Windows works fine with intensive disk activity 2-Fedora 8 works fine too. 3-It's only Centos kernel that crashes when using those drives.
