January 17Jan 17 Hi!Getting Disk Errors with this Startech Controller: https://www.startech.com/en-at/cards-adapters/4p6g-pcie-sata-cardchanged the Data Cables already. No change...The Disks on the internal MB Controller seem to be fine. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you! tomnas-diagnostics-20260117-0913.zip
January 17Jan 17 Author hi, Thanks for your reply!I've now changed spin down delay to never. Is that what you meant?
January 18Jan 18 Author still no errors after 24hrs. Where do I go from here? Is the ASM1164 not capable of proper spinups? tomnas-diagnostics-20260117-0913.zip
January 18Jan 18 Community Expert 1 hour ago, Parabola said:Is the ASM1164 not capable of proper spinups?That chip itself has no issue with spin down; many users use them, including myself. It could be an issue with that specific brand/model controller, or an issue only when used with that specific disk model.Since you have other model disk, it may be worth swapping those there and retesting
January 18Jan 18 Author Alright, I'll swap the 4x 6TB drives over to the MB Controller and the 2x 16TB to the ASM1164
January 19Jan 19 Author unfortunatly disk errors ocurred with swapped controller aswell...so, are the HDDs faulty? tomnas-diagnostics-20260119-1003.zip
January 19Jan 19 Community Expert Disk3 had some errors during mount, so not spin up related, the other 3 were again the right spin up.It's quite strange; those disks are quite common, and I've never seen a similar issue with those and spin up, also all the errors are logged as a disk problem, so there could be an issue with the disks, like a power or firmware issue, I would be surprised if all 4 are actually failing, but it's not impossible.
January 19Jan 19 Author I am using two Chieftec CMR-3141 SAS. So maybe that one with the 4x 6 TB HDDs is the culprit? Gonna bypass that for a while and test further... Edited January 19Jan 19 by Parabola
January 19Jan 19 Author Bypassed the Chieftech Backplane for now. Let's see... Are those errors on disk 3 repairable, or should I ditch this HDD?
January 19Jan 19 Community Expert Try first without the enclosure to see if it makes a difference; don't see any permanent errors for now.
January 20Jan 20 Author without the Chieftec enclosure no errors until i manually started the mover.I am pretty much out of ideas at this point... tomnas-diagnostics-20260120-1233.zip
January 20Jan 20 Community Expert Errors were again after spin up, so I guess those drives don't like that, but before one of them also had errors without spin-up, so there may be something else going on
January 20Jan 20 Author ok. I guess I'll have to replace the 4x 6TB HDDs with 16TB WD Red Pro. Maybe they have reached their max lifetime... Thanks for your Support JorgeB!
