January 5, 20242 yr One of my disk get disabled after parity test. I rebuild the HDD from parity twice now but every time I run a parity check it gives errors. Can someone advise me ? Thanks tower-diagnostics-20240104-1106.zip
January 5, 20242 yr Community Expert Problems communicating with multiple disks suggest power or controller problems. Do you have power splitters?
January 6, 20242 yr Author I had before but the hard drives were not spinning now they are all connected to the same power rail on the power supply. I can use the second one to split the load...

Ideally you would only have 4 drives per power cable. 27 minutes ago, analytic-painkiller6167 said: You think that the drives does not have enough power ? What is the exact model of your power supply?

What part of the diagnostics make you believe that ? 19 minutes ago, trurl said: What is the exact model of your power supply? It's an old 450w PSU from an unknown brand if I remember correctly. I can try to switch if you think that might help... But right now I have an other weird problem. I have 4 sas drive in a custom external enclosure (one of which was the one I started the post for) connected via an HBA. But now for some reasons all of my internal drives are not detected. WTH is happening lol. That one seems like a hardware issue...

All the rest was discussing possible reasons and solutions.
January 6, 20242 yr Author So my sata drives are detected in the bios which removes the hardware issue. Still digging up
January 7, 20242 yr Author So turns out my motherboard is broken. That is what caused internal drives to fails. I don't think that will solve the first issue but I will test it with a new board later. If the issue remain I will try an other PSU. I have a spare corsair RM 850 which would be a waste on this but I want it to work.
