Plextor drives have been affected by reported overheating conditions. I think this is because it is not an original part.
I have seen Rebuild after restarting the server, and the reason cannot be explained.
Failure event
A few days ago, Plextor disk reported with a simple “failure” status:
physicaldrive 1I : 1:1 (Port 1I: Box 1: Bay 1, Solid State SATA, 256.0 GB, failed)
False positive?
So, I unplugged it, checked the SMART output and ran a complete test (see smartctl output above). The test passed, and worse, the driver seat can provide a fully functional RAID1 array.
This is embarrassing.
Alternative monitoring?
I don’t know how to get the P410i to tell me the specific reason for the “failure” status (I think it’s impossible), and I know that these are non-original HP parts (thus making my paid HP support Invalid), but for this non-mission-critical server, I would like to see if the non-HP disk can still be used and its health status can still be monitored.
What’s your opinion? I have 3 questions:
> Is the HP controller monitoring status trusted only when used with the original part? (It’s very simple)
>Are these (completely non-high-quality) SSDs objectively healthy?
>Should I trust the results of the SMART test 100%?
Thanks in advance
In particular, some SSDs report that the controller’s temperature attributes are incorrect, which can cause chassis fan and system heat dissipation problems. In addition, the controller Any SATA device used on the device will be downclocked to 3Gbps speeds from 6Gbps. So you will lose bandwidth potential.
Obviously, this combination of components does not match. You can use it with the controller Known good SSD (HP brand Sandisk/Pliant/Intel/Samsung/STEC), you can also try to use a third-party drive until you find a valid drive. I recommend Intel and OWC.
Introduce some drive options that work well here:
Are SSD drives as reliable as mechanical drives (2013)?

HP storage arrays – Multiple channels?
I want to get your feedback on a controversial situation I discovered a few days ago. My task is to use HP Proliant G6 for development, in RAID1 Two new (<2 months, never used before) non-HP SSDs are used in the configuration. They are used for centralized development-oriented tasks (about 500GB per day); there are also regular hard drives in RAID5, but we will be here Discuss RAID1 array.

Your SSD may be healthy, but the HP Smart Array P410 RAID controller is not compatible with every SSD.
In particular, some SSDs report that the controller’s temperature attributes are incorrect, which can cause chassis fan and system heat dissipation issues. In addition, any SATA devices used on the controller will be downclocked to 3Gbps speeds from 6Gbps. So you will lose bandwidth potential.
