Hello everyone,
Yesterday I got a email-message from my OMV that a SMART test had failed on 1 of my SAS HDD’s.
When I got upstairs, there was a annoying sound coming from the HDD bay (attached link)
I disconnected disk by disk (and rebooting each time) to try to identify the problem disk.
I started manually SMART testing each one. Turns out there where actually two disks that didn’t pass the test.
Luckily I have a 2 partity Snapraid set up, so all was well.
I replaced the two malfunctioning HDD’s with other ones I had laying around (second hand).
When I booted the sound just reappeared, making me think the problem is not with the HDD’s.
I know HDD’s aren’t supposed to make such a beeping sound, so this sound has to come from my mobo right?
However I still baffled as to how a possibly malfunctioning mobo can lead to two failed SMART test of 2 different HDD’s?
My set-up:
Supermicro mobo X11SSQ
32gb ram
I7-6700
8 SAS drives commanded by LSI9210
1 SATA OS drive

Thanks to everyone for helping me out here!
