Re: [Avid-L2] 4TB Glyph AtomRaid SSD Issue?

John,

What ended up happening with recovering the AtomRAID SSD? Success? Other?

Thanks and hope it worked out on some manner...

Production was asked not to use SSD drives to deliver our master but they did on Glyph AtomRaid SSD 4TB drives.  Now with two  nights of shooting the second nite both the master and backup drive are not working or show only part of the data on them.  Needless to say this is a huge issue.

The drives only have 5 percent of free space on them from the field and then they used them to offline with so now about a week after editing the one night set of drives have issues.  I'm speculating it's the whole SSD Trim issue and given there was only 5 percent free space to  start with the rendering to the drive etc... has lead to corruption.  One drive that still works says the OS can't repair the drive but the files can be copied.  I haven't seen the drives from the second night as they are at Melrose Mac for analysis.

I don't quite understand how the raid aspect of this SSD drive works.  I assume it's easier to get 4 1 TB SSD chips than a single 4TB chip.  Maybe it's even more.  Bottom line is there is real trouble in River City. 

Certainly step one is to never use the drives from the field to  edit from whether they are spinning or SSD.  That was not my call but we've been lucky for a long time until the field drives are SSD. 

Hopefully the drive gurus can pull them back on line.
