nv+, ata errors on disk 3......

...it stays attached via network until i try to play a file, which it will for some time, then freeze and i have to reset and rescan/resync.
also trying to write to nv+ freezes up almost immediately.

what i am looking for is this normal behavior for a failing disk? i really don't want to waste a bunch of cash on a new disk if there is another issue. i also am worried about getting my data OFF the drive if there is something more serious like a motherboard issue.

thank you for any insight, other than crappy transfer speeds, this is the first this unit has given me an issue.

    ATA errors do indicate a failing disk.

    What brand and model disk is it?
    What version of RAIDiator are you running?

    What transfer speeds have you been having?
