karateviktor Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Hello, I created a new cluster ~6 months ago and it seems both hdds just died at the same time. There was no power outages, heat or anything. Unraid uptime was ~140days. And then death The last thing I saw in unraid was "DEVICE IS DISABLED, CONTENTS EMULATED". I tried to reboot, but both of my data HDDs were not found in the dropdown. They also started to make weird/crazy sounds inside the bay after the reboot.. Setup is: 2x Seagate Ironwolf 4 TB 1x older ssd as cache StarTech.com 4-fach 3,5 Zoll SATA HDDs Aluminium Wechselrahmen/Backplane, 4 Bay I have an USB-adapter to plug drives via USB into my computer (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0919SF9CP) and the drives behave different: drive a) does not show up in CrystalDiskInfo at all, makes chirping sounds every ~10 secs drive b) does show up in CrystalDiskInfo and is "quiet". SMART says good, but values look off? Why is Power On 0?! I tried to back this drive up as an image via "AOMEI Backupper", but the drive does not show up.. drive SSD) Is detected and showing up in both Unraid/CrystalDiskInfo, but not AOMEI Backupper. So I guess the bay/usb-adapter are working, but the tool has trouble with format?! ### So.. How would you proceed? Is it feasable to try a backup to Image of drive b if I install Linux or something? Which tool would you recommend? I thought it was weird that the HDDs were always running inside the bay. Should I opt for a different bay? Maybe SSDs instead of HDDs? Is the same model as HDD twice a beginnermistake? 😕 Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 And drive b still doesn't show up if you reconnect it to Unraid? Quote Link to comment
karateviktor Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 (edited) i cant assign drive b to anything, but the SATA and HDD leds are on with a stable light drive b is also the parity drive Edited May 25 by karateviktor Quote Link to comment
karateviktor Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 tower-diagnostics-20240526-1441.zip just tried again and seeing lots of "May 26 14:36:15 Tower kernel: ata3: found unknown device (class 0)" "SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310)" in syslog 😕 i think the issues first started at 23 or 24.05 and cant find any logs dating back to that. shouldve made the export right away, meh 😕 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 If you haven't yet try with a different cable/port, if the same it suggests the disk really has issues. Quote Link to comment
