i have seen this on a customer with HP servers and OCZ Vertex3 SSDs (sandforce) which iirc is the same controller as those kingston ones. they where testing performance when it started marking 2 our of 4 drives as predicted failure, of course the controller log and smart counters don't show absolutely NOTHING wrong with them other than the "predicted failure" flag on
Hello all, I have 2 servers here, each with 6 Kingston SH100S3 240G drives hooked up to a Dell PERC H700. They both run CentOS 6.2. In each server the controller has marked one drive with a single 'Predictive Failure Count'. The drives in question appear to be operating normally, which I'd imagine is often the case with a predictive failure, but I can't find the source of it's complaint to determine if there's a genuine issue. I've checked these: PERC event log: [URL] SMART data: [URL] Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any suggestions for further research?
