I have 6x4TB WD Reds, just out of the box, and I'm burning them in per the thread in the How-To section. After I had started badblocks on them all simultaneously, I noticed that ada0 through 4 were running at about 150MB/s but ada5 was around 70. I chalked it up to the C226 chipset not being able to saturate all the SATA lanes equally. But after about 37 hrs, the other drives are on the read/compare portion of pass 3 and ada5 has exited badblocks with no message after finishing the write portion of pass 1. So now I'm running a long SMART test on ada5, although previous tests came up with no errors.
So what's going on with ada5? I have an ASRock Rack E3C226D2I motherboard, is the SATA controller not working for that port? Is there a log that badblocks writes to so I can figure out why it exited silently? And finally, is the drive just bad? Thanks in advance.
