Hey all,
I'm building out a new freenas box. I ordered 12 used 8tb HGST 7200 SAS drives. 5 of them are giving me loads of trouble. I've been at this for hours to no avail. Someone PLEASE help, I'm losing it.
Here's the hardware:
- Chassis: Supermicro CSE-847BE1C-R1K28LPB 4U 36 x 3.5” Drive Bays
- Motherboard: [X10DRi-T4+]
- Integrated IPMI 2.0 Management
- Backplane: 2x Backplane:
- SAS3-846EL1 24-port 4U SAS3 12Gbps single-expander backplane,
- SAS3-826EL1 12-port 2U SAS3 12Gbps single-expander backplane
- Processor: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2620 V3 6 Core 2.4.Ghz
- Memory: 48GB ECC DDR4 (4 x 8GB REG 2133)
- Hard Drives: 12 x 8tb HGST SAS 7200 drives
- RAID: M1250 12Gbs HBA
- NIC: Onboard integrated Intel X540 Qad Port 10GBase-T
I first noticed the issue when attempting to SMART test all the drives. Notice the "device is NOT READY" error below.
I attempted to do a quick wipe of the drives and received the following error:
Some additional info:
I have tried moving the drives to different bay's same issue. Thus it is seemingly not a cable/HBA card/backplane,etc. issue (at least as far as I can tell)
Bios SATA settings are set to ACHI
I'm installed on two 32gb mirrored USBs
Yes I've tried turning it off and on again lol
What is going on here? I find it very hard to believe that 5 of 12 drives are bad. (6 really, one drive is not being detected at all. I'm treating that as a separate issue for the time being.)
HALP!
