Hi All,
On Friday we lost an array an R710. We had 3 drives that were reporting medium errors that OpenManage had yet to flag as failure predicted. On top of that we had 1 drive fail and while calling it in for replacement another one failed. So total we had 5 drives that needed to be replaced.
This is the third server in the batch that we ordered for our customer that has had this happen in the past year. The drives in question are Fujitsu D906 drives 146GB SAS MBE2147RC. Would it be reasonable to be requesting at this point that all of these drives be replaced given the amount of failures we have had with this batch? While this is on a test server it causes a lot of work on our side to get the instances back up and running. We simply can't afford to keep having multiple drives fail like this.
Thanks
