September 28, 20196 yr Other morning, noticed I had 2 drives fail. Were under warranty with seagate so went ahead and replaced them. Inserted the replacements yesterday and started the parity rebuild, and shortly into the rebuild the drives failed. downloaded diagnostics, figured id post and see what anyone thought. I switched the drives in the GUI and am attempting a rebuild now and already it seems to be failing. so once it completes ill run the wires in the box and check those, but in the meantime, anyone see anything glaringly obvious in the logs? thanks tower-diagnostics-20190928-0038.zip
September 28, 20196 yr It looks like the cable may be slightly loose to one or more of the drives. Beyond that, Marvel controllers aren't really recommended as they do have known problems with drive(s) dropping offline. Ideally you should replace it with an LSI based controller. But, since you aren't using any VM's, you *may* have better luck with them if you disable IOMMU in the BIOS settings.
October 4, 20196 yr Author swapped cables direct to the motherboard, and restarted the parity rebuild. Went a hair longer and failed again. new diagnostics attached. tower-diagnostics-20191004-1926.zip
October 5, 20196 yr Author Could it be an issue with building both drives at same time? Or only other think I haven’t been able to troubleshoot is the backplane?
