[SGVLUG] Recommendation of an open source hardware diagnostic tool

[Claude Felizardo]

can you try the drives in another computer just to rule them out?  SATA on MB or card?

you sure there isn’t a bug  with the firmware on the drives?  I had a problem with drives in a RAID - bug would show up ever few weeks or maybe a month when it was trying to do calibration while in RAID config and it would knock the drive offline.  work around was to reboot before that period until i stumbled on  posts saying firmware was bad and an updated fixed it.

Oh wait, all SSD?  What brand?
