Noticed yesterday that launching Picasa gave me the exact same error. WTF? Meaning it's definitely not Slim's fault, and ergo must be nVidia's. Since I was pretty sure I hadn't been seeing these error messages until recently, I figured it must be nVidia's just released 995 driver. I pressed the ro

I'm sure there is more cost effective methods but this is what I did: 4 x 320Gb sata drives in JBOB pairs and then mirrored (RAID 1) and have not had any problems, although I haven't tried RAID 0. The only issue I have is with hibenate whereby the Raid fails when the system comes out of hibenate

I've copied and played files across the network with no issues. And i've played the same files locally in Windows Media Player without problems. I guess I could try rolling back the driver to an earlier version. It's just that everything else works great -- Velcroman ---

I don't get error messages when playing files locally with iTunes, just remotely with the Squeezebox. And I'm not trying to be sarcastic here--it's really easy to misinterpret people's tones based on a quick post to a forum, so believe me, I'm not--but recreating my entire RAID array from CDs and
