I think for now i give up searching for a Backup controller. Dont know weather i buy another AAR1430SA and keep it as backup or if i try with the JMB585 in a couple of months.

Okay the second ASM1166 Card also goes back to Amazon. Same as with the first Cheap one. One Disk gets kicked out of the Array. changed the cables etc. nothing changed. Also tried the second x16 PCIe slot on the board. Mounted the old Adaptec i have no problems. Firmware was the newest on the card. I dont know, seems that the ASM1166 does not like to play with my Gigabyte B460M D3H. Anyone tried that Board or Chipset before? Now i have to rebuild that disk again. Argh.

Mounted the old controller now the Disk is rebuild. I dont know seems the Gigabyte B460M D3H dows not play well with these ASM1166 Controllers.

Nope directly kicks the disk out again. UDMA CRC Error I think i have simply no luck using this ASM1166 Cards.

Okay mounts, disk stays red. Looked at the files via ssh and played couple of them and they seem okay. But got another UDMA warning for that disk. So whats next?

Okay so now a simple normal array start?

Another day another problem. Just mounted the new ASM1166 (with freshly upgraded FW) card i got. Started the unRaid, everthing look fine. Started the Array and disk6 (that one i freshly rebuilded the last time got red). Also got an warning regarding the UDMA CRC Error Count of that disk. I now shutdown the unRaid, change all the cables from the HDD cage to the card. The smart test on disk 6 ran fine. So what do i have to do now to see if it only was a cabling problem? Hope i dont have to rebuild the Disk again. htms-diagnostics-20230112-1056.zip

Thanks

Thanks for that. I think i will make a similiar german Post on my Blog for future Reference. Would it be okay to use your pictures? Btw i wrote a mail to Asmedia if it was possible to get Firmware Roms directly from them but they refused. So its best to keep an Eye on Silverstone.

Ich weiss, ich nutze unRaid seit 2011. Aber alles in Docker oder VM's zu packen ist auch nicht immer Sinn der Sache, da die zusätzliche Abstraktionsschicht es nicht einfacher macht. Wobei man auch sagen muss das unRaid ohne Docker heutzutage wahrscheinlich in der Form garnicht mehr existieren würde. Wenn ich noch daran denke was für ein Akt es war unRaid in Version 4 oder 5 um ein paar grundlegende Linux Programme zu erweitern wird mir heute schlecht. Ohne den super Docker Support würde ich unRaid heute wahrscheinlich garnicht mehr nutzen.

Der Tipp war Gold wert. Brauche ffmpeg nur ab und zu um 5.1 Tonspuren etc runterzurechnen etc. Dafür brauche ich keine große Software wie unmanic etc.

Is there any guide how to check the firmware or where to get the updated? Edit: Okay to answer myself, simply grab the updater from the ECS06 Support Page. After Setting up a Windows PC and installing the Driver for the ASM1166 i was able to flash the FW

I think getting a Firmware upgrade for an unlabled card is nearly impossible. I mean if you want es good ASM1166 i think i would be a good Idea to buy a Silverstone ECS06, at least than you now the manufacturer.

Just a quick warning. Because i wanted a new faster controller card to replace my AAR-1430SA i grabbed a rather cheap (30€) Sata controller card with ASM-1166 chipset from Amazon. Okay they shipped a different model than it was advertised on the photos but okay, nearly all of the ASM1166 are unlabled etc. You can only differ them by the board Layout etc. What i got was that here: Using it resulted in kicked out drives etc. For gods sake with much help here in the Forum the situation was manageable. I dont know if the card is faulty or if the model is crap, but at least i could return it to Amazon. What i ordered now was a bit more expensive model, hopefully it works better: https://smile.amazon.de/dp/B09K4WKHKK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Rebuild went okay, seems that everything worked out. Files are readable at least. Its mainly Media files, so if there is a bitflip anywere it is not the end of the world. That is the ASM1166 Card card which seemed to be faulty, there is no labeling etc: I have returned it to Amazon and ordered another one: https://smile.amazon.de/dp/B09K4WKHKK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Hopefully that works better.

Okay its rebuilding. Really many thanks for your help. I hope that will now go on without any interruption. Sorry for beeing so confused.

Okay power down, remove WD Drive, place the Seagate, assign it to Slot 6 and than bring array up and start rebuild?

So rebuild it onto the old WD Drive or the newer (previously unsused) Seagate does it matter?

Okay done. htms-diagnostics-20230105-1754.zip

Thanks, also the rebuild was on a fresh disk, not on the one with the red cross.

Could be if the controller was no good.

So WD Drive went Red, replaced it with a fresh Seagate, tried to rebuild, Disk 7 went red, stopped the rebuild, than placed WD back. Done nothing more. The Smart report of the WD drive was good, when i recall it right. So i doubt the HDD failed. Maybe the controller was no good.

Hold on stop, let me explain further, really sorry i an so confused right now. Let me recall what i have did befor i switched back to the old card. You are correct, i did tried to rebuild. I placed a new disk to slot 6. Then the disk 7 went red while rebuild. So i stopped the rebuild, and switched back to the WD Drive which is now in. Really sorry i am not really concentrated right now.

Beeing honest i dont know. Never had such a problem before. Is there anyway i can checkt if the contents of the disk are okay without starting the array? It showed that way after the second reboot when i switched back the controller, althouiugt i dont know if the array was autostarted. Was a bit confused

Was an existing array disk
