Hi,
Unlucky as always, we had issues with the chassis of a MX104 about
every years since we installed.
I thinking the vibration from the train track above our location
might be having an effect on connectors in those chassis, but we never
got a "autopsy" report back from JNP about the chassis we swapped.
Oddly luck, we have ~40 VM servers in the rack beside it with a mix
of mechanical and SSDs drive with 0 issues for the same time span.
So mileage may vary.
