I'm having trouble with a hard drive that is (supposed to be) a part of a RAID5. Here's is the smart log:

As you can see several smart tests run througgh fine. However when i try to re-add the drive to my array, the drive keeps changing to a different device letter.

From the dmesg output, it looks like there is a communication issue as it seems to dial down the interfact speed (dmesg output below).

Is this a cable issue, is the controller at fault, or is really the drive defective? I have four of the drives in place, and this is the only one to cause issues - but I don't have a spare SATA port to test the drive at another port.

The fill dmesg is available here

  • If a long selftest works, and if udma crc errors go up, try a different cable / port / controller. Commented Jun 2, 2024 at 9:10
  • A long self-text doesn't work because: The self-test routine was interrupted by the host with a hard or soft reset. Will try a different cable tomorrow, and see if I can "borrow" another SATA port from another device not belonging to the RAID5. The CRC error count reimains the same, though: 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x000a 170 170 000 Old_age Always - 42 Commented Jun 3, 2024 at 21:52

    Replacing the SATA cable seems to have done the trick. Using a new cable, the errors have disappeared. Commented Jun 8, 2024 at 11:34
