[Discussion] F8 SSD Plus m2 drive disconnecting erratically

I have an F*SSDPLUS with 4x 4tb ssds that have previously been in other devices with out issue.
I placed then in my new F8 (6 months ago) and they perform well except for any one of them disconnecting randomly once a month. The device starts beeping and I silence the buzzer. I then reboot the drive and it finds the drive and starts validating the index.

actual message says.
"the array in storage pool 1 has been degraded: disk NVMe Disk3 has failed or detached from the array. ....."

sometimes it says disk2.... others disk 1.

The first time it did this I removed, cleaned with alcohol wipes and reseated the modules.
The modules are never really hot...118F at max.. in an 75F room.

Could this be an intermittent connection problem between the board and the m2 connector?
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Hi.
Your guess is possible.
However, we should not rule out the possibility that the temperature may have been too high at the moment it happened. Did you add the heat sinks that came with the package?
If the problem occurs again, please generate and download the system report package in TOS Desktop > Technical Support > Report Issues, and then send it to us for inspection, before shutting down the NAS. This will allow us to accurately identify the problem.
We will provide solutions or after-sales service based on the results.

the unit does not report 1.4 memory modules temp correctly. 1.3 reports correctly. I think the auto fan logic stays low as the memory gets hot since it is reporting 118F no matter what. turned fan on high.... problem went away.

This behavior is unusual — 118°F (47.8°C) isn't considered a high-risk temperature threshold.

i am still having disconnect issues with this device. i was able to get the log file dump during the last episode and would like to know how to send it in for evaluation. currently all m2's have heatsinks paste bonded to them. I have ran the device without cover to monitor temperature. 135F is the highest temp I have recorded with a IR temp gun. I believe the unit is suffering from a poorly soldered m2 sockets. What is the process to have the unit replaced?

you did not mentioned what kind of m.2 SSD you installed in your nas. If you sure your nas device is defeative, we can provide you RMA service. BUT before doing this, please make sure the installation is well seat your SSD, and SSD is compatible, also try to a different socket.

I just came here to post the exact same problem for my F8 SSD (not Plus) and found this post.

August 23rd, a WD RED 1TB in slot 7 went offline:

Each time, shutting down the NAS (reboot does not help) and turning it on again, it came up 100% fine and rebuild the RAID.
The first time I still had 16GB Crucial in, immediately went back to the original RAM. But now I am seeing that was not the problem.

My NAS is cooled perfectly well was and under no load when it happened.

I have also updated the BIOS and firmware when I found the new version a few weeks ago.

NVMes were all reseated after the first incident, and the heat sink is installed on each of them.

Please help!

OK, filed the RMA as requested.
So, this is a known issue with these devices then?
I guess I am going to get a revised motherboard for RMA?
It's odd, because the device is very new (bought it August 3rd).
Thanks!
