Hello,
I have a Win 2008 R2 server running 10 internal drives and 1 external USB drive. Internal 1 SSD for boot, ASUS optical and 6 x 3TB spinner + 2 x 4TB spinner. The oldest drive is 18 months. They are all seagate drives. The 4TB are NAS drives.
Seatools sees 4 of the 6 3TB, the SSD and the USB drive. It doesn't see 2 of the 3TB drives.Of the drives listed in Seatools, all have passed every test I have run.
The server keeps hanging every couple of hours requiring a power reset to get it back up.
I am seeing some errors in event log (but not many)
atapi errors on ide\ideport8
disk error on disk\dr9
I have backed up the contents, done a full format on each drive (I do not run raid - Each drive is partitioned for a specific pupose).
So how do I know which drive is failing? Do the drive numbers on Disk Management faithfully map to the errors I am seeing in event logs?
thanks
Tanya
