It was that! I re-wired both ends and now it works. Sorry for bothering you. It's strange, anyway, that with the old cable the gigabit connection worked flawlessy on two different computers.

I thought this could be the case but I tried with a usb adapter on my laptop and with a minipc and the cable works. I even did again the cabling, crimping again both the ends.

Since last night, my Unraid server hasn't been accessible at the usual network address. When I ping it, nothing happens. The network cable works because I've tried it on two different computers. The network card on the motherboard doesn't light up when I connect the cable (no orange/green light, just nothing). I've tried rebooting several times, but the network still doesn't work. I'm on Unraid 7.0.0, the Motherboard is Gigabyte B460 HD3 and the Network adapter is Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller and I had a couple of connection problems before (since I upgraded to 7, the speed went down to 100mbps a couple of times but I just rebooted and it worked again) Is the NIC gone? I have to buy a pcie card?

Yes, I do. Now I'm away from server and I do not remember its setup but I think I used a splitter somewhere and a couple of "chains"

Hello, I had some problems with a 14TB hard disk, disk1 of my array. It is a TOSHIBA_MG07ACA14TE s/n 5160A003F94G. It has been reported a month ago with read/write errors but I checked SMART and it seemed ok. So I just did a rebuild on itself and went on for a week. Then it did the same thing: read/write errors and disabled. I then decided to switch the SATA cable with another drive (disk2) that it is on the same LSI controller, and I plugged a spare power cable of my chain. I rebuilded it and it was ok, 0 error another time and all the content there. Today it happened the same error. Since SMART seems ok to me, I have the doubt that it's just the "power chain" that is somehow faulty. I ordered another one and will try on friday to switch it. I attach the diagnostic if anyone can confirm that it could be a power problem or another type of problem. Thanks very much tower-diagnostics-20231129-1341.zip

Hello, I have a system with 2 parity disks and 11 data disks + 2 cache drives. One of my cache drive and other 5 disks are directly connected to motherboard satas while the other 8 disks are connected via a LSI SAS2308 PCI (the other cache drive is a nvme directly connected to the motherboard). Last week I had a problem with disk 11 (TOSHIBA_MG07ACA14TE_Y240A00TF94G - 14 TB (sdj)) which is connected directly to the motherboard with a sata cable: it started to have a lot of read and write errors and then got disabled by Unraid. I then shutdown the system, changed the sata cable and at the reboot I did a full smart check that gave back 0 errors. I then decided to rebuild the disk and the system and the disk acted normally for almost a week. Then this morning it happened again: a lot of read and write errors and it got disabled again. I'm not very tech savy so I can't understand very well the logs but I attach them here with the diagnostics hoping that someone could give me a hint to what's happening. I have to change the drive even though the smart check seems fine? Thanks for everyone that could help me tower-diagnostics-20230518-1031.zip
