Hey everyone, I'm facing a frustrating error that says, "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 during a paging operation." This issue started a few months back on my application server. I switched to a p440ar storage controller, which seemed to solve the problem for a while, and my server was stable for a month. However, ever since I upgraded my domain controller to Server 2022, my app server has been crashing every night. I've looked for logs or errors but haven't found anything useful. I'm using RAID 10 with 8 SSDs, and all the common advice online about running the checkdsk command doesn't show any issues. What else can I do to troubleshoot this?

This error could indicate that your machine is running low on RAM and is trying to page to the disk. Make sure you have enough RAM for your server's tasks, especially during heavy loads like backups. For additional checks, make sure your disk isn’t running out of space for the paging file and look into the settings to see if everything is configured properly. Since you're seeing NTFS errors and one of your drives might be failing, it's good that you're digging deeper there!
You're getting closer to the root of it! The NTFS errors you're seeing, along with potential nonpaged pool exhaustion, suggest a kernel or storage filter issue. It could be related to a driver leak in the backup or storage stack that only appears under heavy workload, especially if it started around backup time. You might want to check your nonpaged pool usage before the crash to spot any growing tags and ensure all your firmware and backup agents are up to date. Disabling backups temporarily could also help confirm if that's the trigger.
It sounds like you're on the right track! You should definitely check your storage controller to see if any of the disks are reporting errors or if SMART thresholds are being exceeded. This error often indicates a problem with disk reads/writes. Is your server physical or virtual?
