又唔係過電, 行 LVDS 電阻只係參數要求之一罷了

I hate to dredge up an old thread but I cam across this when looking into my sata problems.
I've recently rebuilt a file-server with 5x750gb,5x500gb (both raid5) and 2x200gb (raid1 boot) in one nice big ol case. Everything was fine untill recently the set of 500gb drives started acting up. So I pulled it all down tested each drive individually and found no errors. This is after a full read test and a full drive test with the WD tools so it just didnt make any sense. I had also tried limiting the drive speeds to SATA1 and also enabling SCC (spread spectrum clocking) which should reduce interference but no joy.
The drives themselves are connected to a 5port sata port multipler (silicon image) and then each port multipler is linked to a 2port PCIe sata card. So I fugred do some testing swapped both sets of 5 drives, e.g. moved each set onto the opposite port multiplier which I know is working. Still no go. So to keep going I grabbed my old PCI 4port sata card and threw that in, almost seemed to make it worse, either errors or the card locking up during boot which just didnt make sense.
So next thing was to swap out all the cabling on the disks playing up, I had another spare set of 30AWG sata cables and put them in. Same issue again, errors when accessing them or just being flakey. It was then I noticed the other drives not having a problem were all using 26AWG sata cables.
So today I grabbed a set of 26AWG cables and chucked them in and low and behold away goes the problem! Still rebuilding the array over 85% done but no errors and getting past 1% is always a good sign
Never would have expected the thin cables to be an issue as i've used them on plenty of machines in the past and many of them were brand new (ordered a bulk set recently). My best guess is that on their own or with only a couple drives in close together that they are ok but once you have a large number of disks they suffer from interference.
What gets me is that I found a stack of these 30AWG cables in my motherboard box for a mobo that has 8 sata ports... |
