September 26, 20223 yr Hello, I am having problems with one of my drives and is looking for some moral support... I got about 50 read errors and thought it was a good idea to run a Smart Self Test. First Short Self Test went fine, no errors, then I did an extended test because this drive has been having temper tantrums before. After about 5 min it got 1074 read errors and the drive was automatically Disabled. Now it's frozen. In the Self Test tab "latest smart test" is just spinning/loading. When I try to download the logs I get a blank file, so I cannot really provide you guys with logs. History and Smart Error Log buttons show nothing either. The other tabs show no information. Nothing happens when I try to Spin Down the drive. Not sure what to do now, what would be my next step here? Should I consider the drive done? I am currently looking online to find a new drive.

September 26, 20223 yr Community Expert No SMART report for disk2. Emulated disk2 mounts and is half full. Shutdown, check connections, both ends, SATA and power, including splitters. Reboot and post new diagnostics.
September 27, 20223 yr Author Here's the diagnostics after reboot. The SAS/Sata cables are new because I replaced them this summer due to read errors and I had 2 cables not connected, so I switched out the one to the broken drive. I am hearing some very worrisome sounds coming from it though, clicking on boot and other... tytan-diagnostics-20220927-0735.zip

September 27, 20223 yr Author Switching around cables doesn't seem to help the issue. I have a new drive arriving tonight. Will replace drive and do some diagnostics on it.
September 30, 20223 yr Author So I got a new drive, popped it in and rebuilt the array just fine. I took the "broken drive" and hooked it up using USB and went through a complete Pre-clear of the drive without a single issue (drive: sdn). Here's a new log collection, the 2459 CRC errors reported by SMART are the ones I got before the disk was rejected by the Array and I took it out. What to make of this? Can I reintroduce the drive to the array again? 🤔 tytan-diagnostics-20220930-2013.zip Edited September 30, 20223 yr by SolidFyre
September 30, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution Disk looks mostly OK, should fine to use, use a different power connect and SATA cable in case that was the problem.

The sas/sata cables are completely new, so they should be fine. I have also ordered new sata power cables as well, will try and reintroduce the drive again whenever they arrive. Thanks for the help guys
