SAS HDDs started disappearing randomly, megaraid 9260-8i controller and 6tb SAS HDDs

Fl0yd- · June 30, 2022

started weirdly happening this week, the drives would be working and suddenly the system would freeze as if it would BSOD with the audio looping, and it would go back to normal with the drives gone. the drives and the virtual drive are gone without a trace in the megaraid storage manager, the disk manager, file explorer, any current downloads or file transfers would result in an error. they would only re appear after a reboot until randomly happening again.

the card is MegaRaid LSI 9260-8i, the HDDs are 6tb SAS seagate.

event viewer does show some interesting errors that could be key. (26 pics below with all the errors generated in few seconds in that freeze) (the bottom is the first and top below here is last)
