0009 Drive timeout detected
The 3ware RAID controller has a sophisticated recovery mechanism to handle various types of failures of a disk drive. One such possible failure of a disk drive is a failure of a command that is pending from the 3ware RAID controller to complete within a reasonable amount of time. If the 3ware RAID controller detects this condition, it notifies you, prior to entering the recovery phase, by displaying this message.
Possible causes of drive timeouts (also known as APORT time-outs) include a bad or intermittent disk drive, power cable or interface cable.
