Hi everyone,
I have been issues with this disk for a while, it keeps throwing read errors(the unraid ones, not the smart log ones). The disk has been in use for about a year. its about disk 2 (sde) in the array. It is a Seagate EXOS 7E8 512e 8TB.
A couple of things i've tried prior to starting this topic:
- switched out the cables, both power and sata cables, and i tried switching one or the other or both at the same time
- i had the drive connected via an HBA card before, i switched back to connecting it directly to the sata connectors on the motherboard
The disk still throws read errors despite this and it is only this single disk, is the disk failing? when i'm reading the smart logs i don't see anything out of the ordinary (though I am a novice when it comes to reading those).
The disk doesn't have any pending sectors or reallocated sectors (i've read before those are important ones to look at when it comes to disks failing), and the drive shows any read errors (the smart log errors, not the unraid ones) as being hardware ecc recovered.
I've attached the anonimized diagnostics to this post from the last time it happened, i do have others from previous times of the disk throwing read errors, if i need to upload these aswell please let me know.
Any help or insights would be appreciated.
EDIT: I see now that the diagnostics don't include the smart logs for disk2 as unraid has disabled the disk, and it looks like it is unable to run smart command on this disk now, i've attached a manually downloaded smart log from this specific disk to this post aswell, and i added an older diagnostics file of when the disk was also throwing read errors.
Greetings,
Teun
