Can I get something that'll allow me to cgheck the smart logs on a drive.
My machines locked up twice in the past 24 hours and takes longer at the boot screen at the point its checking the drives....

Spot on chap, apparently my D: drive (250Gb WD) has Seek Error Rate issues.
Good job I have a spare 250Gb to go in there...
glad to have helped![]()
feck, my 250Gb Samsung is getting more errors that the bloody WD drive, different type of errors tho..
Aye can do later when i Get home
u got NCQ enabled by any chance ?
Can't imagine the drive's firmware would record SMART errors from dodgy external commands. And seeing as SMART is handled by the drive the state of the rest of the system shouldn't really matter.
PSU could be related I guess.
Systems not oc'd or got ncq enabled.
Dont think its the PSU although anythings possible, UPS shows I'm pulling max 43% out of the USP and thats only a small one..
I was thinking about the interface - The IDE interface for example can be wacked out of sync when overclocking. The problem with SMART is that AFAIK it has no method of verifying that the signal its receiving is not bad, thus thinks the drive is corrupting the data when it arrived in that state.
The nForce 2 was pretty good at illustrating this - the IDE controllers used to go mental when you went too high with the FSB, even though the system may pass every stability test pre-OS. SMART errors were certainly not uncommon (The classic was SMART errors, even when it was disabled)
SATA should cut most of this out though, but under the correct situation, it can happen![]()
Hmmm, the 250's now stopped erroring and the raptors started doing it on and off, the only drive thats not done it yet is the 500Gb.
Gonna run some tests and see wtf is going on..
you have an asus mobo, did u update the chipset drivers in the past few months ?
did you double check ncq is disabled as new chipset drivers tends to reset it
also whats the event viewer like error wise ?
I've had issues with a fairly new samsung, it'd be fine for a few days then fall over and raid would be killed. Managed to 'fix' it by using the samsung drive checker to low level it about 4 times - basically until it completed without errors.
Sounds odd and yet it's been running fine for 5-6 weeks after doing it so far...
