November 6, 2025Nov 6 HelloWell its been sometime running my server but it seems my parity has a red x.Wondering what my next steps are. I do have a replacement drive
November 6, 2025Nov 6 Community Expert Diags are after rebooting, so we can't see what happened. SMART looks mostly fine; recommend replacing the cables and trying again, if it happens once more, save the diags before rebooting.
November 9, 2025Nov 9 Author Ok have some cables showing up tomorrow. What do I do after I change the cable? Should the x go away

November 15, 2025Nov 15 Author Took a bit to enable but been running green for about 5 days.Guess I just need to keep an eye on it.

December 14, 2025Dec 14 Community Expert It still looks more like a power/connection issue. Did you replace both cables? Any power splitters in use?
December 14, 2025Dec 14 Author Will take it apart again not sure I can replace power cable but will check
December 16, 2025Dec 16 Author Okay took it apart damn been a long time moving stuff around in this thing.Replaced the sata cable with another one.Did find the power cable had a splitter. Do not have a new one but took it all apart cleaned and reconnectedDoes look like I have a data disk on its way out too Disk 3?

December 16, 2025Dec 16 Author Will let the parity sync finish. Think the Smart Error was there prior for Disk 3 Once things are back running will see what is up.
December 17, 2025Dec 17 Community Expert UDMA CRC errors are typically the result of a bad SATA cable, and they could be old. Acknowledge the current value, and if it keeps increasing, replace the cable.
December 17, 2025Dec 17 Author Ok will do.Back to parity drive watchingLast check completed on Wed 17 Dec 2025 01:42:46 AM EST (today)Duration: 1 day, 3 hours, 52 minutes, 37 seconds. Average speed: 79.7 MB/sFinding 0 errors Edited December 17, 2025Dec 17 by snuffy47
January 4Jan 4 Community Expert It still looks more like a power/connection issue, but assuming you have replaced both cables, it could be the disk.
January 4Jan 4 Author Well I need to change the power cable still will order a new one.I have a spare 8T in the machine if needed. It doesnt need to be connected to the same SATA port to swap does it?
