[6.10.3] Bad spare value from cache disks with Unraid

Hi,

i have two Samsung Evo 970 Plus as cache drives. After a reboot the second disk could not be found and assigned to a pool.

I have taken the disk out of the server and put it in an nvme adapter and have run crystal info on it. There it says Critical warning 9 and available spare 0. (Threshold 10)

I have run the smart test with the diskSpeed docker in unraid on the first cache disk and there it also says only 30 available spare.

Why is this value there also so bad?

Here are the other values:

SMART Data as of   Mar 9, 2023 1:13 AM

Temperature 42 Celsius

Warning Comp. Temperature Time 0

Critical Comp. Temperature Time 0

Temperature Sensor 1 42 Celsius

Temperature Sensor 2 40 Celsius

Critical Warning 0x00

Available Spare 30%

Available Spare Threshold 10%

Percentage Used 2%

Data Units Read 7,002,678 [3.58 TB]

Data Units Written 55,581,189 [28.4 TB]

Host Read Commands 68,939,664

Host Write Commands 1,155,659,216

Controller Busy Time 20,175

Power Cycles 144

Power On Hours 6,125

Unsafe Shutdowns 70

 

What can i do to prevent this? Or is it a problem with the disks? (but it contains both disks, is that probable?)

Thanks in advance for your help

Yeah i know. But the spare value starts with value 100. My NVMe in my Laptop which is 7 years old has still a spare value of 100.

I am just wondering why the spare value of the EVO 970 Plus is so bad in combination with unraid.

The NVMes are only about a year old. One of them is apparently dead, and with the other one it is probably only a question of time.

 

So i am wondering if i can do something to prevent the disk of getting bad available spares.

they are solved with a firmware update.

Evo Plus never had a firmware bug.

Why are you using a container. Simply click on the pool name. Smart tests and values are integrated in Unraid.

Maybe only a bad batch? 

Must be. Let Samsung replace it and done.

It seems I have to correct myself. There exists a different Evo Plus version, which uses the same controller as the 980 Pro and has because of that the same bug:

According to posts in the SSD sub in Tieba (Chinese equivalence of Reddit), the following are all affected:

980 Pro

970 Evo Plus with the new controller/nand
