Having pretty frequent "hangs" of file explorer, even Excel trying to open a file, etc. Found a TON of errors in the system event log:

The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.

Intel� Matrix Storage Manager - Possible issues with Windows Vista* and Intel� RAID

Reg changes from above hadn't worked - timeouts and lags hitting the drive were as bad as ever.

Physically moved the devices to SATA ports 3-5 as described in the Intel doc above. So far so good, no problems since that change yesterday.
