This errors keep on repeating. The syslog is 30MBs! The drive is 6.0Gbs but the board is 3.0Gbs, I doubt that could be the problem. Could it be the backplane in the Norco? There are at least 4 indicators of bad communications to the drive - degraded SATA link speed ("SATA link up 1.5 Gbps"), degraded UDMA speed ("configured for UDMA/33"), SATA error flag ("Handshk"), and drive error flag ("ICRC"). This is most likely caused by a bad SATA cable, but could also be bad power to the drive. Replace the cable ASAP, with a known good SATA cable, and test again. Just a note, what is usually most helpful from the syslog is either all of it in a zipped file, or at least the section that includes the very first occurrences of the error. The 6gbps vs 3gbps SATA speed difference should not be a problem. Your response is much appreciated. I have changed the sata cable and will begin the preclear process again, unfortunately it's only at step 2 of the preclear process that the errors appear, so I will have to wait and see. I have attached the syslog which details the first occurrence of the error. Many thanks. syslog_1.zip

Hi All, I am in need of some desperate help. This is a new build with only one disk and I am getting errors in the syslog Drive: ST2000DL003 Case: NORCO RPC-4020 MB: supermicro x8sil-f The drive is connected to a sata port on the motherboard and I am using the supplied sata cable that came with the motherboard: Syslog: This errors keep on repeating. The syslog is 30MBs! The drive is 6.0Gbs but the board is 3.0Gbs, I doubt that could be the problem. Could it be the backplane in the Norco? I did however try preclearing a 1.5 seagate (ST1500DL003) in the same port (it's a 6Gbs too), same types of messages. It appears that the preclear has froze at the following point: Please help. Thanks

Hey Joe L., not sure what to make of this output seems like others experienced similar results with EARS in previous posts. Hopefully nothing too bad, thought I'd post the results anyway. First drive I preclear with these results with the same controller. Added jumper on pins 7 & 8 before preclear. The drive is a brand new WD15EARS. Thanks in advance.
