Having an issue with a drive going down less than 2 days after adding a new drive to the system. Also some other weirdness.

Featured Replies

I wake up today and see that my second disk is down. I recently (<48 hrs ago) upgraded my rig with a new disk, and reconfigured my sata cabling and power cabling. I have had no issues with the disk up until now, no smart errors or warnings, and disk health is still very good (been used less than 2 years. Today it's down completely. I have the disk log as well for the disk as of the last time it was spun up. I'm not sure if it's intact from the original error state, as I did start and stop the array. 

 

Additionally, I was having some issues previously with a couple of things that I can't explain and suspect have nothing to do with this problem, but are worth mentioning anyways. 1. I was downloading a very large (1.7TB) torrent on my windows machine over the network connection to my storage server, but I was having issues with either the name of a certain file containing an illegal character for windows filesystem namespace (?) or a file name being too long for the address bar.  

 

Anyways, thanks for any help you can lend me. Diagnostics are attached.

You're having issues with multiple disks in different controllers, so possibly a power/connection problem.

What would you recommend I do from here then?

Power issues can have several origins, mainly:

  • insufficient Power Supply
  • defective PSU
  • too many drives to a single PSU lead
  • poor quality power splitter

 

What is your Power Supply ?

How are the disks connected to the PSU ?

I have a disk with Spin_Retry_Count at 720,000, even though it has been working perfectly up until now, and has no issues accepting files currently.

Additionally, I have attached here the smart reports for both the new disk, and the disk that has been disabled but reports good on smart test.

 

Additionally I need to get the re-enable drive procedure, as I know my original disk (disabled) to be good and working, but the wiki page for re-enabling has been wiped.

Stop array, unassign the disable disk, start array, check that the emulated disk is still mounting, stop array, re-assign the disk, start array to begin rebuilding.
