Running an unraid set and looks like I’m having some backplane issues. Here’s my build so far
supermicro 4U 24 bay chassis
SAS 846-TQ backplane
Supermicro X10SAE MOtherboard
Xeon E3-1226 v3 3.30ghz
16g DDR3 ECC
Corsair RM1000X
2 SAS2LP MV8 controllers
had 2 drives fail in the same column. Tried new breakout cables and then direct wires them to MB with no avail. Moved elsewhere in the array and worked fine. Now the drives above and below in the same column have sailed and work fine elsewhere in the array. Leading me to believe it’s a backplane issue.
eBay looks like about 150 to replace same pass through backplane. Is it worth an upgrade? What options do I have? Primary use is media server and little bit of photo/document NAS.
