Ik weet niet of het mag maar ik heb dit gepost op de WD Community, ook al case geopend bij WD, en had geen zin om het te vertalen.
Hier misschien iemand met een tip?
Hi all,
I have a rather odd problem. I have 5 x WD15EARS in use: 4 x in RAID5 and 1 x in a USB dock.
So this is the situation. I bought 4 disks in November 2010. The ones with the green label. They've been running since in a server with an Areca 1210 controller in a RAID5 config. Never had any problems until April this year. 1 disk failed. The Areca had problems detecting the disk. I put the disk in another computer and used WD Lifeguard Diagnostics. It showed this: "06-Quick Test on drive 7 did not complete! Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 7!". So I created a RMA and shipped the disk. The server kept running degraded.
3 days later, another disk fails. And exactly the same error. I created a RMA and shipped the disk. Of course the array failed but I've got backups so no harm done.
Yesterday I received 2 brand new disks from RMA. Also WD15EARS but with a normal black label. Finally I could start my server again. I put in the disks, deleted the old array and created a new one with 4 disks. After a few minutes one disk failed. One of the new ones! I tested it on another computer and exactly the same error message as with the original disks! So I put in 5th disk as replacement. That one was bought a bit over 6 months ago. Again, a few minutes later another disk fails. Same error. This time one of the remaining old ones.
Ok, so I started thinking I could be the cabling, the controller,... But in meanwhile I tested all disks in a different computer internally. And also on a 3rd computer in a USB dock. No matter where I put them, the errors are there.
And more, the 2nd new disk that I receive yesterday also has those problems!
In one computer I tried to write zeros with the WD tool. After a while: "Sector #285533696 - 285533952::Write Zeros Error! Continue?" I pressed yes and it popped up that many times that I just gave up.
On this computer with the USB dock I'm running HDDScan.
Short self test: error with read element failed
Extended test: error with read element failed
Both seems to be stopped at 10%
Also running the RD-Read test. That one is showing lots of "Bad block found, start LBA..." messages.
Is this even possible?? In a period of days, not counting the time that the server was off, 5 disks fail with the same error. And 2 brand new disks also fail with the same error?
Am I going crazy or do I have just bad luck?
