Well, I'm having trouble with both the 3 WD's in the raid and a 
standalone Seagate, so I'm suspecting the adaptor. Furthermore, I found 
this guy (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=331190) who's having 
what looks to be the exact same problem with a mirrored pair of drives, 
using the same adaptor, as SYBA SD-SATA-4P. I've actually tried two of 
these cards and they both do this... so they are prime candidates for 
the trash at this point.

I brought home an Addonics ADST114 from work and just tried it. Same 
problem as the SYBA. So I'm suspecting that it's either the Sil3114 or 
the linux driver for it. The post on the Ubuntu forum said that the guy 
tried his SYBA in a Windows box and it worked okay, so... I'm starting 
to wonder.

I've got a Promise SATA300 TX4 on order, which uses a different SATA 
chip... so we'll see.
