Re: Is my SATA/400GB drive dying?

I spoke too fast.

Still get the errors:

[ 2311.980127] ata3: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/04 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00
[ 2311.980134] ata3: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[ 2311.980138] ata3: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }


But the drive speed is back to normal!

# hdparm -t /dev/sdc

/dev/sdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 154 MB in 3.01 seconds = 51.12 MB/sec

The problem was I had too many SATA devices in my system, I removed two drives and a Promise SATA/150 and then everything went back to normal, no more errors and back to 50MB/s+.

I turned off smartd and when I cat /dev/zero > /mnt/disk/file, I get the following errors:
