Homelab Hero · No. 003 · Your result

Exactly right. The logs and drive health say whether this was the drive, a cable, or the controller — and a power flicker an hour earlier points at the cheap causes first. Reseating rules out the connection, and confirming the backup tells you what a second failure tonight would actually cost. Then you rebuild, informed.

The lesson: Logs first, backup verified — then touch hardware.
