I just installed a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD drive, and I see a lot of error on the system log (please see the attachment). I am running unRAID version 6.3.5

 

However, the SMART status show green, I am currently running an Extended SMART test on the drive, and will update after it finishes.

 

My question is: should I return this SSD drive and get a new one?

 

Thanks,

Sagun

The extended SMART test just ended, and it didn't find any errors on the SSD (please see the attachment).

 

Next, I'll switch the SATA cable and see if it will fix the errors.

 

Thanks,

Check your cables (SATA and Power)

I checked the cables (SATA and power) and swapped them but I am still getting the same errors.

 

Even though the SSD SMART checked out fine, do you think there is something wrong with it?

 

Should I return the SSD and get a replacement for it?

I took off the SSD from my unRAID server, and booted it just to make sure the SSD wasn't causing it.

 

However, during the booting of the server I still see these errors (please see the attachment). They don't repeat every minute like they did when I had the SSD plugged in, but I still see (almost) the same errors.

 

The error is complaining about the same sectors: 131056 and 131060, how can this be?

 

 

sr0 can't be the SSD, post your diagnostics.

Please find my syslog and diagnostics in the attachment.

 

Thanks,

Sagun

It's your flashdrive, somehow there's a second partiton/function detected as a CD-Rom:

Thanks for the prompt feedback! How do I go about fixing this issue? Do I need to get a new flashdrive?

See if that partition/function can be disabled, maybe in Windows, if not ignore the error or get a different flash drive.

Again, thanks for the help. I will probably get a new flash drive, the errors will eventually start bothering me.
