bedpan Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Hey folks, Started getting some email errors from my server regarding UDMA CRC errors. Its been climbing steady for 3 or 4 days now. I just got home after 2 weeks out of town. I am only home for 3 days and gone again for 2 more weeks. Wondering some thoughts on how I best handle this. Ideally I would like to keep the server running for the next 2 weeks. But short of running no parity or ignoring the error I don't see other options.. I don't have enough space free to re-jig the drives and put a data drive in as parity. Is it even a serious issue? Drive smart status attached. Its an HGST 8TB. Came from Newegg Canada back in December, so only 3 months old. I ordered 2 at the same time. The second one is not having any issues as far as I can tell... May as well attach its smarts as well... Its a Data drive. Edited March 31, 2018 by bedpan Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 It's most likely cable related. Shutdown then reseat or preferably replace the SATA cable and while you're there check that the power is firmly in place. Quote Link to comment

The cable is part of a 4 cable harness that goes to the caddy so I just re-seated power and data for now. I will replace if I see further climbs in the CRC errors. Thanks for the quick reply. I should have figure this out myself... Much appreciated though! Quote Link to comment
