Disk1 is using the LSI in those, and taking a second look, there are also similar errors for disks 3 and 6.

I have brand new sas breakout cable, I'll try swapping the ones that do those disks.
October 21, 20241 yr Community Expert Also check if those disks share the miniSAS cable, or a splitter, are you using any kind of splitters?

I'm going to double check in the morning, but how I had it setup was Parity 1 & 2 - directly to mobo. Disks 1-4 - on one minisas cable Disks 5-8 - on one minisas cable Disks 9-12...... I'm not using any power splitters. I'm using a Corsair rm1000x with cables that power 4 drives per leg. The only thing I havent replaces is the SAS expander card. I replaced the hba, both minisas to minisas cables (in-between the hba and expander) and the minisas to sata cables. I have a backup expander card, I can try swapping it out....or I could use my other hba that was running at x4 speeds for some reason and ditching the expander.

Swapped the sas expander card and one of the breakout cables. I attached an updated diagnostic, hopefully disk errors on 1/3/6 are gone. system seemed to be a little bit more responsive. tower-diagnostics-20241022-0802.zip
October 22, 20241 yr Community Expert Clean for now, but they may be more evident during a parity check for example.

I figured out that the docker image was somehow on an array drive and was slowing some stuff down and keeping parity and a disk spining, got it over to the cache and much better. Any drive errors on the diag? tower-diagnostics-20241027-1303.zip Edited October 27, 20241 yr by danimal86

Average speed is 140MB/s which is pretty dang close to the 150MB/s i was seeing earlier with the different HBA card. If diag show no drive errors, i think we can put a fork in it and call it solved. tower-diagnostics-20241103-1549.zip
