HELP- Boot pool degraded - disk in removed state

Hi

My boot pool ran a scrub last night and one out of the two became degraded.
It is now sitting in a “removed” state.
The disks are a pair of - Silcon Power SSD 128GB which i only purchased last year August.

Here is a snippet of the logs:

I want to try changing the cable first to see if that is the cause.

The board supports hot swapping etc.

Can anyone advise what is the best method to do this.

  1. can it be done while it is on - I have two options when I click on the eclipses to either detach or replace.

or

  1. Power it off and swap the cable… Upon powering on the unit, will the system try to recognise the drive again?

If the drive is faulty, I was thinking to replace it with an Intel® SSD DC S3500 Series, 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSDSC2BB120G4 drive. I have seen these mentioned quite a lot here.

Any ideas what the best approach for this.

Thanks

So i changed the cables for both of the drives.

The errors cleared. But when I attempt to run a smart test on the drive it keeps failing. Any ideas?

Below is an output of the drives smart test

Here is an output of the drive a

Replace the drive with the same size or larger. SSD can just fail.

If you don’t trust that brand, get two replacements, go through process of replacing the first bad SSD and let resilver. Go through process once again with second SSD replacement.

Another option is to back up config. Insert both new SSD drives and reinstall OS and config file.

I just realised these two SSD currently in my boot pool were 128GB and the Intel drives are 120GB.

I guess this is going to be a problem, right?

Yes, but if you get a current backup of your configuration, you can still do a complete reinstall with the 120Gb and 128Gb. You might have to play with the menu for mirror selecting the 120 then the 128. You might have to install on 120 then add second 128 as mirror later. Temporary single boot then making it a mirror pair
