Did they work somewhat at first and then fail later, or did they just not work at all? In my scenario, the drives worked ok for some time, but failed en masse during high load, always one backplane failing, even after one or two of them was replaced. The errors I got was h/w and trn errors, mostly "No Device".


Vennlige hilsener / Best regards
