MM23 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I haven't checked the cable connections yet since I wanted to make sure I captured the diagnostics before powering down. I also can't access the SMART report from the GUI despite it showing hundreds of read/write errors. tower-diagnostics-20191102-1945.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 From the syslog it looks as though the disk dropped offline just before starting to generate all the read errors. That would also explain why you could not get the SMART information. Quote Link to comment
MM23 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Yep it was the sata cable, entire connector snapped... thanks for the help. In other news, does anyone know how to remove a broken SATA connector from a drive? Quote Link to comment

It would be interesting to see a photo. Can you grab a part of it with needle nose pliers or strong tweezers? Quote Link to comment
