Transferring Files to My Storage Pool Causes Machine to Reboot

[koberulz]

Just got my new custom-built box set up, created my storage pool, and started copying files across from my PC. But every time I do, I get an unscheduled system reboot.

4x WD Red 20TB, Fractal Design 7 XL, ASUS PRIME B660M-A D4, Intel Core i3 12100, Cooler Master MWE Gold 1250 V2 Full Modular, 32GB RAM.

Kernel panic? Look into the logs.

I have looked at the logs, but I don't see anything obvious. I don't know what kernel panic is.

If you don't see anything obvious in the logs could it be a power issue when the disk start writing?

Proper Power Supply Sizing Guidance

I've seen about 1,000 threads like this one where people decide that they can power a dozen hard drives off a 360 watt supply. DO NOT DO THIS. I've seen another 1,000 threads where people decide to buy the cheapest power supply that they can...

When you built the machine did you:
1. Thoroughly test the memory - run memtest for a minimum 24 hours
2. Thoroughly test the HDD's before putting them in a pool and using them.
3. As much as possible test the rest of the components

I note that the NIC is Intel - but I cannot immediately find out which chipset but it is a gamer board so it probably one of the less standard Intel chipsets.

Core or Scale?

Is that a 1250W PSU?

Welp, failed memtest. Off to RMA a second set of RAM, after my first set of RAM wouldn't even POST.

Ran SMART tests on the drives, which led to having to RMA one of those before I even got to this step.

This setup is cursed.

LOL
Always thrash the living crap out of a new build (wether new parts or old parts) before throwing live data at it.

I didn't even mention that when my first set of 20TB Reds showed up, it was just a single 1TB Black...

Took the problematic RAM stick back to where I bought it from, they ran memtest and it passed with flying colors.

So, uh...now what?

RMA the motherboard.

Depending on your motherboard - will it run with just one stick?
If so put in one stick and memtest
Then test in another slot till all slots are tested - use the stick that was tested externally. This way you test each slot with a known good stick.
If a slot fails - then test with a different stick

See if you can track down the problem that way
