Intel X25-E Failures

Anyone having problems with X25-E reliability? We bought ten drives and put 8 of them into a RAID array, and over the past month two of them have failed. One could be a fluke, but two out of ten seems like a really high failure rate in a month.

We used an Adaptec 5805 and the PERC 6i

Sorry for delay

Yes it is possible that some drives came from same batch.

This is very interesting, and yet concerning, as we are about to deploy a 15 drive x25 RAID-6 array using a PERC 6/E controller.

Rjdevereux, can you clarify which RAID card the drives were connected to when they failed? Was it the Adaptec 5805, or the PERC 6i?
