| Summary | 0000583: HD read-errors while Speedfan is running | ||||
| Description | I have a Promise SATA150 TX2 serial ata card with two Western Digital HD's. One of those drives started giving the SATA150 card read-timeouts: "The device, \Device\Scsi\UlSata1, did not respond within the timeout period." So I assumed the HD was dead. I issued a RMA and WD sent me a new HD.....which during the first format again gave the same problems and evenutally DIED! Now WD was nice and again gave me a replacement and larger HD! And again at the first format the drive gave me a read-timeouts again. Now during this period I have tried to pinpoint the problem: bought a new powersupply, new GPU, new SATA controler and did extensive memory testing. All to conclude that the problem is still present. Until today: I decided to format the HD while SF was disabled! And the result was that there were no errors! So I think something is wrong. | ||||
| Additional Information | - SF does give the wrong HD names: it does Name Byteswapping which ends up with the wrong name - I had both ISA and SMBus enabled. And the temperature of the HD's were the only parameter that were read via ISA. The others (CPU temp, fan speeds) was done with SMBus. | ||||

- I had both ISA and SMBus enabled. And the temperature of the HD's were the only parameter that were read via ISA. The others (CPU temp, fan speeds) was done with SMBus. Correction: the HD temperature was read from SMART data. Just ran SF with /nosmartscan to see if that results in problems. |

This is a kind of issue that, in years, I never heard of. My guess is that you are using a driver combination that has got issues and that SpeedFan surfaces. |

Any update? If I don't get any answer I will assume you simply experienced a side effect from something that had nothing to do with SpeedFan and that SpeedFan was not the real cause. P.S.: SpeedFan 4.28 and later properly handle byteswapped HD names. Please, note that when byteswapped names are returned it is a driver issue and not from SpeedFan. |
