* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
The following actions have been taken so far, none of which are successful:
- Upgraded Dell R210 II's BIOS
- Purchased an entirely new Sandisk TowerRAID TR8M+B
- Replaced the eSATA card - moving from SIL chipset to Marvell
- Replaced all hard drives with brand new 3TB drives.
Did you try replacing the eSATA cables yet?
- Upgraded OS from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch
- Ensured BIOS was set for maximum performance and not power saving.
- Added noapic, acpi=off, and apm=off kernel parameter options.
These parameters were once useful with old hardware and kernel
versions, but now will usually only make things worse.
- Performed a full on-board health check (part of the Dell on-board management abilities), finding no issues.
- Performed an extensive memory test, finding no issues.
