Is this disk dead?

[ramair02]

• Disk 4 disabled yesterday and the Unraid Main tab shows 2048 errors. 
• Log shows multiple write errors.
• SMART self-test has been going 12+ hours. It's at 80%, so progress is being made, but terribly slow.
• Attributes tab of Disk 4 does not show any issues. 
• Dashboard tab shows 'Healthy'

 

 

 

 

Diagnostics attached.

It's not logged as a disk problem and SMART looks OK ,so most likely a power/connection issue, but wait for the SMART test result to confirm.

Thanks. I will let the SMART self-test complete.

 

Is there a way to figure out what the 2048 errors showing on the Main tab are related to? I would expect to see something relevant in the Disk's Attributes tab, but that looks clean -- as you noted, it's not logged as a disk problem. So what are the 2048 errors then and why was the disk disabled?

Since it doesn't look like a disk problem there won't be anything on SMART showing that, it's normal if it's a power/connection issue.

That seems reasonable for 8TB
