Hi, I've owned a Soekris net6501-50 since december 2011. I'm perfectly happy with the device (used as a router at home), except that I seem to have had some misfortune with my SSDs.
Originally, I only used a single SSD: Transcend 16GB mSATA MLC SSD Unfortunately, I had some problems with it (it could not read some files from disk), so I replaced this with two other SSD in september 2013: Intel SSD 525 Series 30GB mSATA 25nm MLC SSD In oktober 2014, ZFS reported that it was degraded, and the SSD in gpt/system1 could not be read. In the end, I fixed that by removing it, and putting it back in the socket. That solved the issue. I now have the same problem: the SSD in gpt/system1 can't be read. Now, I'm happy to buy another replacement SSD, but start to wonder if the socket could be the problem. Unfortunately, I'm software-guy, not a hardware-guy, so I wonder: what's the best way to clean a mSATA socket? Most webpages after a quick search suggested cleaning alcohol, either with soft cloth, toothpick or q-tip for cleaning, and a cannnister of pressurised air to dry it. Before I try this, I wanted a check if this makes sense. Comments are much appreciated.
