HP Proliant G6 reporting failed SSD drive - alternative strategies for monitoring?

Solution 1:

Your SSDs are likely healthy, but the HP Smart Array P410 RAID controller is not compatible with every SSD.

In particular, some SSDs report incorrect temperatures attributes to the controller that cause chassis fan and system thermal issues. In addition, any SATA device used on that controller will be downclocked to 3Gbps speeds from 6Gbps. So you're losing bandwidth potential.

Obviously, this combination of components is an ill-match. You can either use a known-good SSD intended for use with the controller (HP-branded Sandisk/Pliant/Intel/Samsung/STEC) or experiment with 3rd party drives until you find one that works. I recommend Intel and OWC.
