December 14, 20232 yr I cant seem to figure this one out. The HBA 9500-16i arrived with FW version 14.x which had so many read errors docker applications crashed so i spent 8 hours getting storcli to work properly and updated the fw to the latest 28.x. Now with the latest firmware i am still getting read errors however significantly fewer. does anyone know of a FW version for that card that is stable with urnaid? defcon-diagnostics-20231213-2041.zip
December 14, 20232 yr Community Expert That's a pretty recent model, probably not many users using it yet. Dec 13 20:11:19 DEFCON kernel: sd 1:0:1:0: Power-on or device reset occurred These errors usually mean a power/connection issue.

I have used 3 separate cable sets, And the btrfs errors stayed the same. Although they aren't broadcom cables, Everything I've read shows these cards are picky with cables when used with NVMe drives but no info yet on SATA. So it's probably a cable issue and not a card/driver/ firmware issue? The company that sold me the card has offered to send me another after I send this one back just to be sure but that is a bit of a hassle.

I've ordered a 4th cable set. This time from a different vendor. That will be here this sunday and hopefully that's the issue. If not, I guess I'll be exchanging the card.

Using a 9207-8i when I swap the data cables back to the old mini-sas style for the 9207 all the errors go away. My assumption is that proves no power issues exist?
December 25, 20232 yr Author I was able to confirm the HBA-9500-16i that i was using was indeed defective, im currently waiting for the replacement card to arrive and will update the post
