Officero Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Chasing down what I believe is a cable issue. System runs "fine" (air quotes as it must not be running fine) for awhile and then on a parity check will throw some errors. Diags are attached and any help would be appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20220806-1056.zip Current errors are one disabled drive and one drive that shows as unmountable.

Solution JorgeB Posted August 7, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 7, 2022 Looks more like a power problem, it's affecting multiple disks in different controllers, could also be SATA cables. Quote Link to comment

I found a possibly loose molex to SATA connection that hopefully fixed my issue. If I find other issues in the future, I'll start replacing power cables. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment

There is no standard pinout for modular PSUs and many have fried disks using wrong cables. It is not, but thank you for that heads up. I have another system (not a server) that is semi-modular. I'll remember that. I have some SATA expansion cables I took apart to remove the 3.3v wire from using this guide: https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-3-3v-sata-power-cable-mod-3-3v-wire-removal/9806 There's a chance I messed something up--though all I did was remove a wire--so I'll try another cable if I have additional problems. Think I'd just need to put tape on the 3.3v pin for some of my shucked drives. Edited August 9, 2022 by Officero Quote Link to comment
