I have used both drives in my PC using Windows 10 without problems (formated as NTFS) Here is the Smart output of the Seagate drive currently in my PC: [C7] UltraDMA/SATA CRC Error Rate: 200/Always OK, Worst: 200 I will check cables but I didnt use them that much, 98% of the time the pi is sitting there without being touched. Also around two month ago I tried the simpleNas distribution with integrated openmediavault for around 30 days. And there the drive never got lost, even with all smart power saving stuff enabled. I will see if the drive gets lost without power saving.

I got a new error: [ 1241.455061] ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4000000 action 0xe frozen [ 1241.455087] ata1: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed [ 1241.455108] ata1: SError: { DevExch } [ 1241.455153] ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps [ 1241.455178] ata1: hard resetting link [ 1243.658265] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 1 SControl 310) [ 1243.658325] ata1: EH complete Log: http://sprunge.us/aJTh Smartctl output: http://sprunge.us/cdWO 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 10 I disabled all the Smart energy saving stuff like APM, Spindown and Standby. I will see if the problem persists. fresh boot dmesg log: http://sprunge.us/CaDe

Thanks for all your answers. Yes, the system is installed on a Sandisk Ultra card. I mount simply by using the mount command. No automounter script or something. Here is the armbianmonitor output. It is not directly after the disk disappears, but i think there is a lot going on in the last bit with ata1 / SDA / Sata / Ext4. I guess the problem starts at around 6652.232267. http://sprunge.us/FCiR

Hey there, I am a long time user of your armbian operating system. It is great, I am using it for a simple home NAS system. But I have found one problem with armbian, which is very annoying: My standard Banana Pi keeps loosing the HDD Ive connected over Sata. It is a 3,5" Seagate Barracude 3TB drive formated as Ext4. It gets 5V and 12V power and runs quite perfect, as long as it has something to do. It spins up and down as I configured it. But when I leave the pi for a longer time period unattended (no workload), and the harddrive stays in spindown-mode too long, it wont identify the HDD anymore. The mount point and the /dev/sda are gone. I need to powercycle the whole system to get everything back up. Things I tried: fresh armbian, with fresh formated drive -> same problem fresh armbian, with another drive (WD green) -> same problem I noticed this problem quite a while a go, but never got to posting it. Hope somebody has an answer. Thanks in advance
