    So I'm downloading Aion from fileplanet. While downloading this 9.5 gig file I'm had a raid error twice. Anyone know what would cause that?

    I'm not sure. It popped up on the taskbar on the bottom right. It looked like it was the battery symbol.

    It quite possibly could mean one of your hdd's are going bad, I would definitely make a back up of important files ASAP if I were you.

    I just had an hdd fail on me a week ago.

    Its always a good idea to back up regularly.

    I used to get the same problem from time to time when transferring big files. Raid error pop up on the taskbar.
    The problem seems to have disappeared.
    Beats me!!
