I've had a RAID1 working flawlessly for several months now, and last night, after a failed update that was automatically rolled back [on Windows 10 Pro], it developed a serious problem.
It's a single RAID1 used for data only as my D drive. Whenever I try to access the RAID disk, it's usage (Active Time) jumps to around 100% and stays their until I stop tried to use the drive but Read Speed and Write Speed mostly stay at 0 except for small spurts where it goes up to 3-8 m/sec (as displayed on the Task Manager). It's taking about 10 minutes to copy a Gig at this point. Even opening a directory with only a few files in it sends the disk usage to 100% for a couple seconds, and sometimes it even takes a second or two to load the director in File Explorer. All other drives on the system are still working fine.
When I boot the "Intel Rapid Shorage Technology - Option ROM", the RAID1 status "Initialize" instead of "normal." This would lead me to think is verifying or rebuilding or something, except that when I leave the drive alone usage falls back to 0%.
I'm baffled by this. And making a backup under these conditions seems like it would take several months.
Details:
Intel Rapid Shorage Technology - Option ROM 11.0.0.1339
Capacity: 7452.0
Partition Scheme: GPT
Intel Chipset SATA RAID Controller - Driver Version 15.2.0.1020 [9/13/2016]
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe ATX Motherboard (so about 5 or 6 years old now).
Any help or additional information on what might be going on would be greatly appreciated.
