RS25DB080 "unexpected sense" errors on new SSDs

Hi!

I have been using this controller in the same system for ~3 years now with 4xIntel SSD320 160GB SSDs.

Now I added 4xSanDisk Extreme II SSDs and am having a lot of troubles.

I always get a lot of "unexpected Sense power on/reset" or "unexpected Sense no additional information" errors when doing heavy IO (e.g. AS-SSD Benchmark).

I swapped SFF cables between port 1 and 2, I replaced power cables, etc.. I also tried limiting link speed to 3Gbps to no avail.

I tried RAID0, RAID5 and RAID10, it makes no difference. I tried default volume options and the ones I want, it makes no difference.

It always happens on Port 4 and/or 6 though. So I swapped the SSDs 4/6 with 5/7 and it makes no difference (problems still on 4/6, so the new SSDs are not defective).

The strangest thing about the problem is the following:

If I hotremove and hotplug the SSDs while in Windows and only then create the RAID volume it will work perfectly (at least 30min heavy IO) until next reboot. Then it will sense fail and drop drives during the first seconds of heavy IO or even have them during boot (I can see those in the RAID console log).

That really must mean it's something with the controller IMHO.

I have attached some excerpts below.

Firmware/Driver is latest:

23.12.0-0013 (3.240.25-2382)/6.600.23.00

Please help!

Thanks,

Regards

sblive,

I don't see SanDisk Extreme II SSDs listed in the RS25DB080 http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/rs25ab080/sb/CS-033039.htm Tested hardware and operating system list.

You might be able to interpret the unexpected sense codes using the http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-029307.htm Intel® RAID Controllers Alert Code Decoding White Paper.

John

Thanks for your reply. You are right, that the SSD is not listed. As it works when hotplugging until next reboot though it should really work at all times.

Also I had already found that sense whitepaper. But the codes are decoded anyways in the log messages : either "power" or "no additional information", both of which are not really helpful.

And to stress again: none of these problems appear if I hotplug and create the volume, only after next reboot.
