                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Recently I purchased one of these USB3 4-Bay enclosures.

I configured 4 previously Certified* (using SoftRAID) 2TB drives in a RAID 1+0 configuration. 
In less than 24 hours SoftRAID started showing read errors on all 4 drives. Disk verification shows the following multiple errors on all four drives:

'Feb  4 14:56:28 - SoftRAID Application: The verify disk command for disk disk10, SN: DB1234567895AA, USB3 bus 0, id 0, lun 0 encountered a read error (offset 98,306,097,152, i/o block size = 1,048,576).  This disk should be replaced immediately.'

'Feb  4 14:56:28 - SoftRAID Application: The verify disk command for disk disk11, SN: DB1234567895AA, USB3 bus 0, id 0 failed because this disk has unreadable sectors.  It should be replaced immediately (error number = 66). '

(obviously the offset is different on the four drives)

After removing the drives form the enclosure and re-certifying the drives using the drive dock all drives appear OK.

Is this a sign that this enclosure is incompatible with SoftRAID or should I test the drives in the enclosure without SoftRAID?

*Certification was done using a Sharkoon USB 3 dual drive dock.]]></content:encoded>
