Flash Drive Corruption Every 1 - 2 days - Suggestions?

[bombz]

Hello, 

Been recently noticing after my last flash drive started to toss corruption errors that even when replacing the drive for a brand new flash drive the corruption reoccurs after 1 to 2 days.

I am attempting to determine if this is a motherboard USB port error, or if the USB flash is taking on more writes than normal.

 

Took approx. 1d 22h for the corruption to reoccur
Rebooting the server seems to fix the issue, but I am sure it will reoccur again.

I suppose I will wait to see if the I/O port swap helps the situation, or if it is software. I am open to suggestions.

 

Thanks :-)

It's dropping offline, try a different port, ideally USB 2.0, if it keeps dropping replace the flash drive, if issues continue with a 3rd flash drive try a different board.

Hello,
Appreciate you looking into this. I was doing my best to skim the diagnostics.
Yesterday I moved the flash to a USB 3.0 port, as I have been using the 2.0 port(s) since my inception of UnRAID over 10 years ago. As I saw in the kb's over the years that 2.0 is the preferred port, I will take a gander at the 3.0 for the sake of testing. 

The flash drive was replaced 2 days ago, as a heads up.

Who knows, it may come down to a whole system board, CPU, RAM replacement.

Hope the port resolves it, but I should prepare to start looking into new hardware.
If you have any hardware suggestions let me know. 

 

Thank you.
