Drive errors, retries, timeouts, and unwarranted drive failures occur when using an older Mini SAS cable
Errors, retries, timeouts, and unwarranted drive failures occur when using an older Mini SAS cable.
The Mini SAS cable might be reaching its life expectancy.
The Mini SAS connector life expectancy is 250 connect/disconnect cycles (for external, internal, and cable Mini SAS connectors).
If using an older cable that could be near the life expectancy, replace the Mini SAS cable.
