Different parity drives have failed multiple times the last month....

[DjShugaA]

Parity drives last between couple of days to 1 week now.

 

Tried different drives, change power cables, changed sata cables.

 

I suspect its the motherboard but never encountered this type of error before.

 

System was stable when i had less disks (5-6 compared to 10, increased slowly over time)

If i test the disk on a windows computer with seagate tools it reports no errors.

 

Anyone have any idea?

Hi, have you looked at your power supply?

havent changed it no but used molex to sata the last time i changed the parity drive hoping that was the cause.

Better be a decent one (The Molex to Sata), seen a fair few photos of them over on reddit where they've caught fire, used to be a fairly regular thing in techsupportgore

Update

 

Changed sata cable and plugged it into a cheap 2 port sata controller i had.

 

No issues yet....*fingers crossed*

Update 2

 

Changed PSU and got a 9201-16i

 

Got the same errors right after i installed the 9201 but only on 1 drive connected to the mainboard

connected all drives except cache to the 9201 and no errors as of yet. and bonus...hotswap now works yay

 

cache is still on mainboard

 

*fingers crossed harder*
