It could be a MB problem with the SATA drives. Especially if it is old it might not be able to handle SATA differently than IDE thus soft updates do not report correct. What happens if you remove soft-updates ? Do you have the same issues?

Yes same issues. whether soft-updates are enabled or not. The SATA drives are on a PCI SATA card. Can't imagine that being an issue as prior to MB integration..millions of PCs had to have IDE cards to run their hard disks. I have NOT configured the RAID 1 in the SATA card's BIOS.

However it could be a power issue, I have consulted with a couple of other people and they both think 235W isn't enough. I wonder if this also affects my USB ports and USB KVM on this machine.
