Softraid recently failed certification of all installed 7 Exos X18 16tb disks at the same time. (see log file attached) Softraid told me to replace all 7 disks.
Running certify again it now completed successfully (took about 140hrs). Softraid now told me that all disks are ready to be used.
So what now? trust SoftRAID on the failed message or on the Disks are good message?
System is: Mac Mini 2018 64gb RAM 6 core i7, Thunderbay Flex 8

You can attach a SoftRAID tech support file if you want, but the disks are going to be good. There could have been a cable interruption, etc. When disks "fail" at the same time, it means an interruption in signal, not bad disks. go ahead and use them with confidence!

Thanks a lot! Now that's a quick reply!😅 I'll proceed to make my new Raid 5 system in that case👍

Your disks are fine. I notice that they all failed at the start of the verify pass. Not sure why, it could have been a communications failure, but the disks are all OK.
I brought your note about logging in, to the webmaster, so it can be looked at. thanks~
