I had 3 Western Digital 1TB drives and 3 Seagate 2TB drives connected to two Promise SATA300 TX4 controllers for many years with no problems. Just recently I replaced the pair of Promise controllers with a Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8-port controller, and Scanner is now mysteriously claiming that the 1TB WD drives are 2TB, even though the controller says they are 1TB during startup and Windows "My Computer" says they are 1TB -- at the same time, Scanner claims that two of the drives suddenly have 3.45 GB and 2.85 GB (respectively) in bad sectors that need to be tested.
Scanner is also trying to automatically re-test all 6 drives connected to the new controller, but it is taking a VERY long time to scan the first 1TB drive that supposedly has bad sectors.

Any idea what is going on??
