July 30, 20169 yr A couple of days ago disk 11 on my server showed disabled. It was replaced and succesfully rebuilt with 0 errors. I ran a non corrective parity check afterwards but it wasn't fully completed. Now 2 disks show errors and disk 1 is disabled. Please advice me on how to proceed. diagnostics are attached. tower1-diagnostics-20160730-0533.zip
July 30, 20169 yr Community Expert Disk1 show a few reallocated sectors, disk10 looks fine, it could be a bad cable/enclosure but I would start by doing an extended SMART test on both disks.
July 30, 20169 yr Author Thanks, How do I run a long SMART test on the disabled disk. I can't spin it up through the GUI an run a SMART test in the GUI cause it needs to be spun up. In the CLI smartctl doesn't seem to see it, maybe because it is on a M1015 controller or still part of the array?

July 30, 20169 yr Author Thanks again, How bad is it that SMART attribute 5 reallocated sector count shows values >5? Can this even happen on a new precleared disk?
July 30, 20169 yr Community Expert In theory as long as there are no pending sectors, the disk is fine as it did what is suppose to, it found some bad sectors and replace them, but it's never a good sign and it's much more likely to get some more bad sectors, many, including my self, replace any disk with reallocate sectors, I use them only on a backup server or other less critical role.
July 30, 20169 yr Author I tried a long test on disk 1 and got no such device. It also gave a connection error.
July 30, 20169 yr Author At long last long self tests are running. I reseated several cables and disks, which are in SM CSE M35T cages, and now I have to wait. Is 580 minutes normal for a 4 TB disk?
July 30, 20169 yr Community Expert Is 580 minutes normal for a 4 TB disk? Yes, it's about 2/2.5H per TB.
July 31, 20169 yr Author It looks like a bad breakout cable after all. A 2nd Monoprice cable bites the dust. Are the wires in these cables stranded or solid? I look to replace all cables now. Can any advise me some sturdy cables? They should be available in Europe through Amazon. I need cables to hookup CSE M35 cages to M1015/Perc H310 controllers and sturdy but bendable. I might have been to careless handling and routing them.
