October 7, 20232 yr Community Expert Looking for a sanity check here. Parity check kicked off last night at 6PM. A few minutes into the parity check a bunch of errors like the below popped up. I've ordered replacement SAS->SATA cables for my HBA drives, and replacement SATA cables for my motherboard-connected drives. Anything else I should be looking for? I've attached diagnostics.

October 15, 20232 yr Author Community Expert Solution I replaced all of the SAS-SATA cables for drives connected to my HBA, and the SATA cables for drives connected to the motherboard. I also removed the molex splitters I had deployed to deliver power to the backplane/drive cages. Just completed a parity check with no errors.
