I have a HP Proliant DL380 G7 with said array controller and 6 INTEL SSDSC2KW4's, set up in Raid 5.

Normally I have never had problems with SATA drives in servers, but this one has me baffled.

I have installed ESXi 6 on it, and this usually goes quite OK. Sometimes i get to install a couple of virtual computers, but suddenly it tells me that the Drive status has failed (to a variable amount of disks), and the array has gone offline. I can go, take the disk out, and put it in again, and it works fine.

This usually happens when i transfer some GB of data to it. If it has ex. a router running that does not write much to the SSD's, it can be stable for over 20 days without caring to much.

Anyone experienced anything like this? Or on general basis have some tips on how to proceed?

You're not supposed to do this.

The HP Smart Array P410i RAID controller is not compatible with every SSD. You can't just toss some consumer drives into the server and expect them to work. HP protects/guards against that by restricting third-party drive use in their servers.

The drives have NOT failed, but they definitely are not meant to be used with that controller.

I have a pair of DL380 G6's for home labs and am fed up with HP's requirement of HP-branded drives only. In server #1 are 2 system drives and QTY 14, 4TB Seagate drives. RiLO constantly reports at least 3 drives as overheated when they are not. I verified this using HD Sentinel.

I am proposing to purchase QTY 2, 7 SATA port controllers and am going to build my own power cable using HP P/N 463184-002 (Spare 514217-001). Cut one end off and solder a connector to power the drives. After removing the back plane of the second drive cage all of the drives will be accessible from the rear.

I'll try to post pictures and perhaps a video on YouTube when finished.

Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged hp-proliantssdhp-smart-arraysata or ask your own question.

Then in my opinion, you have a different issue. Either a bad backplane, bad controller or a cabling issue.
You should be able to at least see something as far as drives go....

Update on my issue: I spoke with a few HP solution providers as well as scoured the web. There are some people claiming the P410 works with the server, however the cabling from the G5 drive cage to a P410 mini connector on the controller is the challenge. Wonder if a G6 LFF cage and P410 is a viable conbination? (My current controller is on the latest firmware....no dice)
