Ok we have a HP Proliant ML350 G5 running E200i Smart Array with two Raid 5s. One for OS and one for Data.
The 6 drives are HP/Seagate 250GB SATA ES.2
Today marks the third complete hard drive failure in three years. We have had 1 each year since the server was originally put into production.
Whats do you guys think? Is the hard drives? The raid controller? Or the enclosure its self.
Failure 1 - Port 2
Failure 2 - Port 3
Failure 3 - Port 6
Seatools, reporting complete failure, all tests fail instantly, cant even zero write.
If its just the drives then I am thinking about just upgrading them all to WD drives but it could be the raid controller itself. Luckily though I haven't had two drives go at once.
