Dell PowerEdge 6800 drives in array corrupted

We have a used Dell Power Edge 6800. The two drives in array 0 (the mirrored boot drives) keep getting corrupted. I tried different drives and the same issue. The drives are fine in other slots. Can this be a chassis issue?

Something is slowing down my server Dell PowerEdge 1800

Almost every day something starts running on the server and performance slowly grinds to a stop causing me to have to reboot. I look at the processes and the only ones showing up are store.exe and system. There are no Events in the Event Viewer to shed some light as to what is hanging up the server. It is not anything that is scheduled to run by me or any other piece of software. Some days it hangs up around 10:30…..then some days 2:30…..
Server is a Dell PowerEdge 1800 w/ 1GB of Ram w/ Server 2003. No hardware or software was modified prior to this happening. Could it be some process in Exchange that is putting a heavy load on it while it runs? How does one check on that?
