UDMA_CRC_Error_Count -- caused failed drive (with full SMART pass report)


Recommended Posts

I put a new drive in, and within a day, it has gone RED X... the only errors with it, were the UDMA errors. 

If the drive is "good", why did it fail?  Should I RMA this drive?  I haven't been able to get an answer as to what these errors really are... some say it is a bad sata cable, or just bad communication error... but I don't know.... :(    this drive was put in place of a failed 2tb drive, with some other errors on it as well as a tonne of UDMA errors.  That drive, is still connected to my server, so it wasn't exchanged with that port, and I have ensured that all the cables are connected and good...

 

What should I do???? :'(

 

Here is the general SMART report for the 2tb original failed drive:

You've got 8400 crc errors over the life of the drive (164 hours)  not surprised it redballed.  Check the cabling any any power splitters and post your diagnostics

 

(the original drive has 164000 errors over its lifetime.  No surprises it failed either)

If I had a syslog, i would have posted it... the server has rebooted since this issue happened... this is why I posted the 2 SMART reports...

 

I have searched the forum, and I saw a post about it, but I didn't really seem to see/understand the problem/result.

 

I can add what my server is though:

It's bad cabling / loose cabling / data cabling tie strapped too tight / unshielded cabling tied to others / unshielded cabling tied to power / poor power splitters (99 % of them suck) / too many splitters / etc etc etc. 

 

Number one mistake when people build computers is cheaping out on data cables or making everything look neat (and if they insist on neat by using tiestraps)

The power that feeds the backplane, I've never touched... I beleive there is only 1 power connector, but I could be wrong... I will double check later.

 

My sata cables are not tie-wrapped, and are decent quality SFF-8087 fan out cables, and the 6 on the motherboard are brand new, and were pulled out of their bags the day the motherboard was installed.  The fan out cables were brand new when I got the raid cards as well, which was when I bought the mobo.  I replaced all the fans in the case at the same time too (most were dying, so it was safer to replace them all at once).  These 2 drives, are on the same channel of the same raid card though (I just looked at my drive charts), so maybe that is somewhere to start...

 

Is there any way to see if there are errors with the raid card itself?  like some kind of raid card diagnostics?

 

Typically, I don't cheap out... which is why I have been swtiching to the WD RED drives.  I was having issues with the WD GREEN dying more often, and until this WD RED died, I never had a WD RED fail.

 

I don't spin down my drives, and I used to use the cache drive and the mover script, but I don't use that any more.  I am thinking about moving my "apps" off of my cache drive, and putting it on the array, so that I have some 'safety' if/when the cache drive was to fail.

Well, sorry for not being a qualified mind reader. I'm working on it, but I'm starting to think that the course is not completely legit ;D

 

At least you now know that you should try to grab diagnostics (not only the syslog) before rebooting if you encounter problems in the future. Good luck with the troubleshooting. :)

I just want to echo what has already been said, it's not the drives, it's not the controller, it's almost certainly the cables or their connectors, or very remotely it's flaky power.  It doesn't matter how new the cables are, at least one or more are bad, or you have power issues.  Even the newest can be lemons.

 

Oh, and don't staple the cables either!  :D
