Hi,
One of the disks in the CVS/SVN/Wiki/etc server is slowly failing. I
read the daily log reports and every week or so for the past month
I've received a report of a failed sector on hda, e.g.:
WARNING: Kernel Errors Present
end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector ...: 2 Time(s)
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { Uncorrect ...: 2 Time(s)
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } ...: 2 Time(s)
Oct 4 22:40:13 raid1: hda6: rescheduling sector 18089128
Oct 4 22:40:19 raid1: hda6: redirecting sector 18089128 to another mirror
So in order to prevent data loss, I'd like to replace the HDD. I'm
considering replacing it with this 250G/16M Seagate drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148143
Actually, I'd like to order TWO of these drives. No, we don't really
need the extra space (we still have 40G free on /home, out of 56G
using a pair of 80G drives in RAID1), but I might as well replace both
drives at the same time as they're both about the same age. This is
the cheapest 16MB cache drive I could find, and it's one of the
cheapest Seagate drives I could find (the only cheaper Seagate had
only a 2MB cache).
Granted, I could save $20 per drive by going with a 200G/8MB Maxtor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144211
I'm really hoping to avoid Western Digital.
I was planning to use the tip jar for this purchase, which is why I'm
soliciting opinions before I purchase anything. Note that if I order
from NewEgg I can usually have the item delivered the next day. On
the other hand I wont have time to work on the hardware until probably
October 27-28, so we have a little time to come to consensus.
So... Comments? Suggestions?
