Hi!

I would replace two Western Digital Velociraptor 300 GB 10K Rpm that
in the latest five month gave me a lot problems. Periodically i must
re-sync the linux raid 1 array because one of the two Velociraptor
stop to work. Someone have an experience with the Western Digital Raid
Edition 3 on a machine with linux software Raid 1?

 
Do inspect the drive and drive logs with WD diagnostic software.

Do inspect the hardware... cables, connectors etc....

Is it always the same disk that is triggering an error?
Is the drive firmware up to date?

Software RAID 1 does not place any strange load on a drive the way
other RAID models might so unless the drive is well out of warranty 
look for the obvious....
