My First Disabled Drive!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

 

This is my first time having a disabled drive in Unraid.

The drive is not that old and has not produced any SMART errors in the lead up to this.

It is connected using a Dell H310 HBA card.

 

At the moment I suspect this is a cable issue? What would would be the suggested next steps?

Stop array, unallocate the drive, run a smart test, then assuming all good rebuild onto the drive?

 

Thanks!

So firstly, this drive was connected using a cheaper sas to sata connecter, and only 2 of the 4 are populated.

One of the unused sata connectors from the HBA somehow wiggled loose of it's chains and appeared to be hitting the front fan? (I run a Node 804). No idea how this happened, however have used some more velcro staps on them.

 

Suspect either the cable quality or fan assult to be the root cause, can't see any other reason.

After I posed this I restarted and both drives connected to that cable were missing. I cable tidy up and reboot was able to rebuild back onto the disabled drive and all is well in the house.

 

Thanks Jorge
