Fatal Interface Error?


Recommended Posts

Hello. What would cause this error? Faulty cable? Poorly seated backplane/drive? I've reseated the drive several times already but this error keeps popping up when copying files to the server. I'm running 5.0 right now.

Replaced the SATA cable on ATA3 and I'm moving some date over to test for errors. I've got 1 molex and 2 SATA power cables going into this backplane so I don't think it's a power cable issue. I have another identical drive showing similar power_off_retract counts and two Samsung drives that are showing low counts. Maybe it's just the way the Hitachi drives park heads?

By the way, if the test indeed shows an issue with the hot-swap cage, you may want to consider switching to one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817993002

 

Better airflow (large front-fan blowing directly over the drives);  and direct cable connections to the drives.  Not to mention it's a lot less expensive.  It does, of course, require removing the cage to swap a drive .. but that's a very simple process.

So over the past week I've been copying 100gigs or so to/from each drive on the server along with a few non-correcting parity checks to stress the system and I have not had a single ATA reset/error since moving the two problem drives out of the hot-swap cage and hooked them directly to the motherboard. I have a 3rd cage at the bottom of the case that I'll move to the top and test for errors.

 

Still have some random sync errors that keep popping up during non-correcting checks that I'll have to address. Already checked RAM for days and no errors.
