One of my pools has 4x WD Red drives in a RAIDz1 and my system emailed me with the following errors overnight. Searching the forums this seems to be either a drive error or a SATA cable error. How can I determine which one it is?

smartctl -a /dev/ada3 reports the below. When I have had disk failures before usually I see pending sectors, reallocated sectors, or offline uncorrectable errors start increasing but in this case they have not:

Looking at the results of smartctl -x /dev/ada3 I noticed the following in the error log section. Does this mean it is the actual drive itself, or it still could be the cable or the drive?

Code:
SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Version: 1 (6 sectors)

Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.

Any thoughts would be appreciated?

Looks more like the drive, since there are no UDMA errors.

That’s a lot of load cycles btw, have you got the drive set to spin down?

No long tests set up?

Yes I have the drives set to spin down. Power is too expensive where I live in Australia. I have 4x WD Red 4TB drives which average 4w idling and 6x Seagate 8TB drives which average 6w idling. That is approximately 56w of power, 1.344kWh per day, 490.56kWh per year, which at our power price of 47c/kWh is $230 just for having the disks idling. A 4TB WD Red is currently $179 so even if I have a drive failure per year, I am still coming out ahead. The spin down may shorted the life of the drives, but that is a risk I am willing to take. I have all critical data backed up on external offline storage which is updated and verified monthly so I am not worried about data loss.

I checked my FreeNAS config and it seems only the short test is configured. I have completed a long test on the drive and it returned no errors

Code:

Num  Test_Description	Status				  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline	Completed without error	   00%	 22744		 -


I'm running another scrub on the pool to see what happens. To replace the drive or monitor the drive, that is the question?

If the extended test passed keep monitoring, one attribute to monitor is the read_raw_rate, ideally it should be zero, but low single digits can be OK, though never a good sign.

Ah I see the relationship now with attribute Raw_Read_Error_Rate and the 5 errors listed in smartctl -x output. I will monitor for now and if it gets worse, I will get a new drive. Warranty on these drives lasts until May according to the WD website. I might have longer if I can find my receipt. Not sure how I will go with an RMA of a drive that is passing the long test though.

I woke to a FreeNAS critial alert this morning:

Code:
The volume data (ZFS) state is ONLINE: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected.


I checked the zpool status for the data pool and found the below:

Code:

status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error.  An
		attempt was made to correct the error.  Applications are unaffected.
action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
		using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.

errors: No known data errors



The Raw_Read_Error_Rate has not increased, and the drive is not reporting any reallocated or pending sectors. I'm running another long SMART test. Hopefully this one fails so I can warranty the drive. It is definately the same drive; ada3.

Update, I've done a few more long tests and scrubs, and it seems the drive is behaving now. I still don't trust it though. I'm talking with WD support to see the best course of action as the drive is still in warranty.

Keep us updated. I recently had two drives start registering checksum errors, and I'm taking one step at a time: updated firmware, replaced cables. Next, I'll swap out ports, and if necessary, replace drives.

I have the similar problem before. Please make sure:

1. Your HBA card is working properly, I had a bad HBA card before thus cause disk failure in a random manner.
2. Make sure your have sufficient power supply for each disk especially if you have sata to molex connectors (these connectors are really bad).
3. Make sure you do not connect too many disks to a single power cable. E.g. Do not use Sata extended cables, etc.

If your disks have a (random) failure on heavy I/O, it most likely one of above situations hit your problem. Otherwise, you can swap the disk to different cables to see whether the same disk reported the error again.

Hope you can resolve the problem soon.

Thank you for those tips. I'd never considered the number of drives connected to one cable. My SATA power cables have three plugs each, so I have each cable connected to three hard drives on a 550w Corsair PS. So many variables...
