Hi, I have an ASUS Z97-A mb with 2 Western Digital 1TB drives in a RAID1 configuration running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. About four or five days ago I had trouble after reviving from sleep mode and had to do a hard reset. After the reboot IRST said that the RAID volume was going through a verify and repair. After 8 hours or so it was at 11% complete. Since I had been through this before with a failed drive I thought this was taking way too long since at that time it completed the verify in about 3 hours. I decided to do another reset so I could go into the bios to check if I had SMART enabled (I did) and to use ctrl-i to check the raid utility. Every thing looked ok so I proceeded with the reload of Windows. Now, the rebuild was even slower; after 1 day it was at 1% complete. I let it continue and after another day it was at 2% complete. Right now, I am completely locked out of my system so can't check it again after a further 24 hours. The hard drive light is pegged (still) and my last view of Windows resource meter also showed the disk as 100% busy.
What do I do now?
Before I got locked out yesterday I wrote down some info:
- driver: 2014-04-03 version 13.0.3.1001
- raid rom 13.0.0.2075
- array available space 4MB
- Windows 10 pro version 10.0.10586 9200
- raid configuration:
- array name SATA_ARRAY-0000
- Size 1,907,739 MB
- Number of volumes: 1
- Number of array disks: 2
- Disk data cache: enabled

When I looked at the 'Manage Volumes' tab in the IRST utility it said there were zero errors.
