    I ran into a similar problem which turned out to be a raid control (Hightpoint RR2314) for some reason the controller card kept resetting the drives at random during playback. Recording were fine, it was just playback and at random. I could never tack it to a service or application.

    I would suggest that you try attaching an external FW or USB drive and setting it as the recording drive and see if the problem disappears. If it does, an excellent solution would be one of the Sans Digital eSata towers which ship with either a SilImage 3132 or a RocketRaid 622 card. Both of these have worked without issue for me and I now have a RocketRaid 644 in the Dell replacing the 2314 card and it’s running 20 drives without issues.

    Getting the SilImage java based contol system to work for the 3132 is problematic, but the RocketRaid Web GUI or Management Console both seem to work well.

    But first just try an external drive rather than fighting an onboard controller.
