swells Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi All, Looking for some help with an issue. I searched around here a bit and couldn't find anything specific to what I am seeing, but if there is something out there, please forgive me and point me in the right direction please. I am having an issue that has occurred since the beginning of the year. I have been having an issue with parity sync and have been getting 5 sync errors every other month or so, then I correct them usually after I confirm they are there, and then wont see them for a month or so and then they come back. And they are always in the same sectors. I started tracking the sector a few months ago and copied them off into a separate text file to keep. Below are the details. Current state of my server is, I just within the past two weeks transferred all hardware from a Antec 900 with three 5in3 cages to a norco 4224. So all cables, back planes, caddies, etc are all different since the last time I saw the sync errors. If it was memory I would think it would be at different sectors right? Could it be bad sectors on a single drive? What do I need to do? Long SMART test on each drive? All the SATA cards stayed the same, I have a Dell PERC H310 and a single 2 port card coupled with my 6x on board ports currently in use. When I moved to the norco chassis I added an additional H310 but it is currently not in use. As you can see here, I will get the sync errors, run again with correct again, they get corrected and then i get a month or more of no errors and then they return. 2018-09-21, 14:34:05 19 hr, 35 min, 41 sec 113.4 MB/s OK 0 2018-09-18, 08:56:43 20 hr, 49 min, 55 sec 106.7 MB/s OK 5 2018-08-02, 01:59:33 23 hr, 59 min, 32 sec 92.6 MB/s OK 0 2018-07-01, 22:05:41 20 hr, 5 min, 40 sec 110.6 MB/s OK 5 2018-06-01, 20:42:18 18 hr, 42 min, 17 sec 118.8 MB/s OK 0 2018-05-21, 15:50:31 18 hr, 29 min, 50 sec 120.2 MB/s OK 5 2018-05-19, 04:26:08 18 hr, 37 min, 32 sec 119.3 MB/s OK 5 2018-05-18, 01:45:21 18 hr, 44 min, 55 sec 118.6 MB/s OK 0 2018-05-01, 19:08:03 21 hr, 34 min, 27 sec 103.0 MB/s OK 0 2018-04-29, 15:57:07 21 hr, 7 min, 35 sec 105.2 MB/s OK 0 2018-04-28, 16:28:48 20 hr, 49 min, 35 sec 106.7 MB/s OK 0 2018-04-27, 18:42:46 20 hr, 42 min, 24 sec 107.3 MB/s OK 5 2018-04-01, 22:57:58 20 hr, 57 min, 57 sec 106.0 MB/s OK 0 2018-03-03, 03:38:01 20 hr, 55 min, 32 sec 106.2 MB/s OK 5 2018-03-01, 23:02:53 21 hr, 2 min, 52 sec 105.6 MB/s OK 5 2018-02-03, 02:48:41 20 hr, 43 min, 30 sec 107.2 MB/s OK 5 2018-02-01, 22:46:09 20 hr, 46 min, 8 sec 107.0 MB/s OK 5 2018-01-01, 23:16:40 21 hr, 16 min, 39 sec 104.5 MB/s OK 5 In July I started tracking the sector of the errors.

swells Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looks like it is. This is the card. One of the reviews states the card has a Marvell 88SE9128.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GS8VA4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And this is from my diagnostics.

swells Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Well that explains that. I can move the drive(s) that are connected to it to free slots on the H310. Is there a 2 port SATA3 card that is recommended to replace it? Quote Link to comment
weirdcrap Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I don't know of any specifically to recommend but the Wiki has a section that should get you started in your search: https://wiki.unraid.net/Hardware_Compatibility#PCI_SATA_Controllers Edited October 1, 2018 by weirdcrap Quote Link to comment

Use an Asmedia based controller, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-2-port-Controller-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538432850&sr=8-1&keywords=SYBA+SY-PEX40039 Quote Link to comment
