Unraid 7.0.1

Disk 10 6TB WD Red read errors (Disk 10 - Read Errors - hoth-diagnostics-20250426-1207.zip)

After receiving read errors I swapped cables with another drive.  Turned server back on and same disk had read errors (Disk 10 - Read Errors - (2) - hoth-diagnostics-20250428-0748.zip) again.  Now granted it is only 2 read errors, but not sure if I feel like that I should look into replacing the drive.

You have 124 errors, and they've increased between your diagnostic uploads

 

Error 123 [2] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 54713 hours (2279 days + 17 hours)
  When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.


Error 124 [3] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 54716 hours (2279 days + 20 hours)
  When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

 

With over 6 years of usage and increasing errors, it's probably time to replace that drive.

It might be possible to run a bad-blocks check and reformat, to limp along another year or so - depending on what data/usage that drive has.

Treat yourself to a bigger drive mate.. (Matching or less than your Parity capacity, if using it in the array).

Normally I'd agree, but all of the drives are showing read errors suggesting connection issues

all of the drives show read errors!!! I don't see anything on the dashboard other than disk 10.  I'm using the following boards

1. PCI board - Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03). 

2. SATA controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S PCH SATA Controller [AHCI Mode] (rev 11)

 

  Are these boards going bad?

Could be, could be cross-talk, overheating etc - going to be difficult for you to nail it down without throwin parts at it

Don't know why I didn't think of this! I recently had a load of I/O errors after adding a new drive to my 4-bay icydock.. I reseated the power connectors and data cables and so far, it's been good since. Puzzles me how a running system can develop a bad connection like that..
