As you probably know, two drives actually "failing" at the same time is unlikely. If two drives go offline at the same time, there could be a number of other reasons why: Backplane - multiple slots -...

Sounds like you have the memory positioned correctly, but do you have the 2 procs in the 2 middle sockets, and you have the 2 flex memory bridges in the 2 outer most sockets?
View ArticleRe: PE R810 Memory Configuration
