July 7, 20169 yr I will list my system at the onset so we all know what im talking about. I have : Evo Blue 750W PSU at least 2 to 3 years old. Motherboard : P67A-UD7-B3 CPU : i7 3770 2 x LSI M1015 1 x PCI (Not PCI Express) video card. 3 x 80mm fans running off molex. 1 x SSD 11 x SATA Drives (1 of which is a green drive) 2 of the drives are running SATA from the mobo, all other drives running of the LSI cards. 8 of the total 12 drives are running off SATA power direct from the PSU, all other drives are running off a Molex to SATA cable. Now I know that as PSU's get old they lose there efficiency however this is a unknown. I also know that the amp being pulled on a drive spinning up is greater than the amp being pulled when idle. But from what I have listed above, am I pushing my PSU to much?
July 8, 20169 yr Author Did a parity check today and three drives came up with errors which up till now have been fine, so I stopped the check. Extended smart tests shows the drives are fine. The drives have no smart triggers. The only things that has changed from the last auto parity check is the second LSI card was added which was previously used on this very system so I know its not that. The Second thing is two drivers where added to the system. Both drivers went through the pre-clear process fine. New drives are disk 9 and 10. Drives that came up with the errors are drives 2, 3 and 4. I wanted to disconnect the two new drives completely from the system and run a parity check and compare results however unraid will not let me start the array because two drives are missing.
July 8, 20169 yr You can't do a parity check without those drives because they are part of parity now. To make them not part of parity you would have to new config without them and do a new parity sync, which would of course make any comparison moot.
