[SOLVED] Is this a drive failing, or an interface problem?

[nomisco]

As per the title. I notice that there are a couple of entries in the log file which indicate the same sector (CRC failure) - so I could logically guess that it might be the disk failing, or, that as the interface has auto-slowed to 1.5 Gbps fro 6.0 Gbps without any errors past that point in time, so there's an interface / cabling issue.

 

Of course it's possible that unraid has downgraded the interface speed and coincidentally there are no reads to the failing sectors after.

 

Grateful for any pointers.

Cabling.  For future reference, always post the entire diagnostics.zip file

Thank you. I shall swap it over and try to remember to report back in a couple of days just to confirm cause.

Managed to get the cable changed the weekend, and so far so good. The fact that the errors started to appear fairly quickly after starting the array leads me to think that it's fixed 👍
