3 Disk Failure in 6 weeks

Forum History Drobo

Hello,

I had 3 out of 4 disk failure in 6 weeks. I use Seagate Barracuda 3GB and 4GB. Could it be cause by the Drobo 2gen. It’s connected on a iMac with Firewire 800.

hi,
do you have any more info about your drobo setup?

if you only got the drobo gen2, within those 6 weeks, then it could possibly be down to the unit, or maybe you had a bad batch of drives? (if you check the serial numbers, they might show if they came from the same batch)

usually when there are firewire problems, trying a usb connection is good, but if it’s the actual unit reporting that the drives themselves are bad, then its probably not the cable
