I think your SA3200 controller is defective. If there is a hardware contract or waranty on it have it replaced.

the story is that i ordered a smart array controller (5312)for the ML530 server but its delayed,so the vendor gives me the smart array controller 3200 temprory till my card comes,the SA 3200 is uses,(if you please tell me if this smart array 3200 compatible with ML530,so if i ask them to replace it with other one if they have)my server is ML530 G2 3GHz/512Kb Dual Processor.i want to implment RAID5 on 3x36GB U320 SCSI HDD.waiting your reply.

the 3200 controller is supported, so are the disks. I have good hope that a replacement controller resolves the problem
