Hi everyone!
Contemplating on posting this but thought how others may find this helpful in a similar situation!
The other day I opened up unraid and found one of my drives turned off and had an "x" by the name. My initial find was that I had several "UDMA CRC error count" about 46. This leads me to believe this specific error caused my drive to become disabled; as that was the only issue I found at that time. I also completed an extended SMART test and it came back with no errors. (attaching report)
When this happened I turned off the system and swapped the SATA cable with the issue drive. After rebooting the system I started getting UDMA CRC errors for two of my other drives. Now this is leading me to believe something else may be wrong.
Here are my questions:
If I run the SMART extended test and it passes, is it fair to say that the problem does not reside in the drive?
If the SATA cables were replaced, what may be the next issue? Is there something wrong with the SATA Controller? Is there a way to check this?
Should I be worried of having data corruption to the drives while receiving these UDMA CRC errors?
What is my next move given all the information?
System Info:
Running the system for about 2 years...
Hardware is pretty old, see png for more info.
Please let me know if you need more information about the system...
