February 9, 20233 yr Hi all - I had a situation a few days ago where one of my drives threw a bunch of read errors and then red balled. I ran an extended SMART test which came back fine, and have just finished rebuilding from parity back onto the drive that red balled without any issues. I'm curious if there are any indications in the logs that I am missing as to what could have caused this? I'm planning on reseating all of the cables this weekend, but worried about potential power issues or something with the SATA controller - but I'm not sure how I would identify this or what to look for in the logs. Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20230208-1836.zip
February 9, 20233 yr Community Expert It's not logged as a disk problem, you can replace/swap cables/slot to rule that out if it happens again, in the last year or so I've also being seeing some issues with some Seagate drives and LSI SAS2 controllers, but they usually more recent disks models, not that particular model, so most likely for now would be power/connection issue.
February 13, 20233 yr Author Ok - great to hear it doesn't seem like a disk problem. I will keep an eye on things then. Thanks! Edited February 13, 20233 yr by james00794
