statecowboy Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Bought a few of the 8TB easystore drives last year. Array has been running with no problems whatsoever since the beginning. Just got a notification that one drive was take offline. Smart report attached. Time for a new drive? Not sure why it was taken off line and if it's safe to bring it back on. Array is running in parity mode now. WDC_WD80EFAX-68LHPN0_7SGENLWC-20180724-1703.txt Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Next time, post your diagnostics before you reboot. Drives are only ever disabled due to a failed write, and more often than not it's something other than the drive that caused the issue (usually cabling) The drive itself looks fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
statecowboy Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 OK, thanks. I'll check the cabling out. How would I go about properly bringing the drive back online? Quote Link to comment
statecowboy Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Turns out one of my SAS cables unplugged itself from the expander. Didnt even think that would be an option. Thanks again. Am now reconstructing the drive to be safe. Quote Link to comment
