Fishmongerrules Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Hi, I am having issues with unraid server. Over the last couple months I keep getting disks with read errors and it kicks the drive to Unassigned Devices until I restart the device. I have had this with several different drives. I will remove the drive put it in a test server and do not get this issue. I put a new drive into the system to copy the data from the old drive to the new one. I just did this yesterday again and in the middle of copying data another drive gave errors. I restart the computer and now another drive says its missing that was working. I am at my wits end. Any ideas of what I can replace in hopes to fix this? Things I have tried. 1 I replaced the sata cables. 2 I got a expander card for the raid card to bypass the sata controller on the mother board. 3 I have replaced the sas cables for the raid card. 4 unplugged and replugged everything multiple times. filestorage-diagnostics-20231230-1636.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution trurl Posted December 31, 2023 Solution Share Posted December 31, 2023 Problems communicating with multiple disks. Power would be a suspect. Are there power splitters involved? Quote Link to comment

Are there power splitters involved? yes. i have 3x StarTech SATA 4 plug splitter and each one has a y splitter to power the 5th drive in each of the 3 rows of drives. each row of 5 drives has its own plug on the psu which is a Thermaltake Toughpower 750w module psu.

Molex-SATA splitters may be more reliable. yes. the drives has the 3.3v pin so i used them instead of taping off the drives. ill replace them and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment
