Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller
on MSI x299 motherboard
Intel driver 15.9.0.1015
inf iaStorA_inst_8.NTamd64
2 SATA st4000dx001 drives in raid 0
Working all fine and well 'till one day i powered on to find a degraded array,
One drive is in the array , one drive is apparently missing, but shows on the drive list.
Here's where it gets weird,
There are supposed two identical drives in the array
2x st4000dx001-1ce168
Serial
Z302GC9D
&
Z3014MQZ
however, as i booted today there is a degraded array which appears to contain
2x st4000dx001-1ce168
Serial
Z302GC9D
&
Z3014MQZ:1 ( Status missing )
(notice the :1 appended to the drive serial by RST, that's not infact what the drive reports with any drive tool )
with a 3rd st4000dx001-1ce168 drive with the serial Z3014MQZ
I have no idea how the RST has made up a new serial for my hard drive or why it's been removed from the array
Given i havn't made any changes to the cables or position or any other edits ( other than a windows update and a reboot )
Why do i have a degraded array ?
Why do i have this new serial for a drive ?
IF i can some how fix the reported serial , no doubt the array will just fix itself
( I have no attempted to change any settings nor have i mounted the drive, i'm hoping to keep the data )
If we cant save the data, it's no hassle, it's only a local copy I can pull a backup, but with 7TBs of data, that's going to take the day, if not two days to re-copy
Also if i cant understand what's caused this problem ? It might happen again, if not tomorow, then next week or next month....
If i havn't made myself clear, ( it's late, i'm tired ) Some screen shots showing the array and the serials of the drive that's supposedly 'missing' and that same drive shown in the list
