Flash failed, on two USB in one day

[Dieter Koblenz]

I'm having a strange issue with the unRAID flash drive. It worked flwless in the beginning, but the past three days I've been getting flash errors. Ok: I abused the flash drive: I did have to reboot multiple times and I have had system crashes at several times (high CPU tmp, weird errors, other issue). So after two reboots because of a failed flash I replaced the drive, restored my backup and continue... ah no. After a couple of minutes I got another error on my new device.. 

 

Any hints? Can't replace the drive again with my license..

Here is the diagnostics log.

And with the third usb stick, seemingly undamaged, it happened again a couple of times. The latest diagnostics zip is attached.

Yes your syslog is filled with flash failure messages.  I'd guess that the USB controller on your motherboard is failing.  Maybe take a look at your motherboard manual and find another usb port which is on a different controller.

I'll use a different controller, it's a rather new motherboard. I'll see if I can find a tool to extensively test this. Before unraid I ran Win 10 24/7 without USB problems. It seems my mouse is connected to the same controller.

Some feedback should be in order, after changing the stick to a different controller I haven't had any problems. The controller I used before still has my keyboard and mouse attached and doesn't seem to fail at all. I guess the motherboard is to blame then.
