[6.12.8] Log full of "SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310)" on ATA1 "Flash Boot USB"

rcmpayne · March 20

Hello All,

I was looking at my server logs today, and they seem to be full of the following. While doing a few searches and commands, it appears to be related to my Flash USB boot drive. Any ideas what this may be, as it appears that my USB drive was replaced not long ago?
