I have an iStarUSA BPN-DE230SS in my server to add additional drive bays. There are currently 15 drives in the server, and I have had multiple drive failures. This is where my question comes in. My server will crash without warning when it accesses a bad block on a drive. I can find the error in the system logs, so I know that the blocks are causing the crash.
I have never heard of this happening, but I figured people here would be the best possible resource for this, so here goes:
Can a bad connection inside a drive cage (iStarUSA BPN-DE230SS) actually cause bad blocks to pop up on a hard drive? I have never heard anything like this, so I am confused. The thing is that I have had THREE hard drive failures in the same slot of the cage. I am not sure how it could cause bad blocks, as I understand those to be physical defects, but I could easily be wrong.
Here is the computer hardware information, just in case it is helpful:
