not just hard drives, i had a RAM stick die too (!). no idea how, maybe the mold that grows on my walls and is fucking impossible to kill grew on the PCB, i wouldn't be surprised this is all good and funny but i'm seriously worried for my data now

The server I originally had at the hackerfarm slowly corroded itself to death. First one of the RAM VDDQ control chips died, killing half the RAM slots. Eventually it refused to power on. The other server there is fine though, I think it depends on the specific model!

how did you narrow it down to a VDDQ control chip?

There are only a few things shared by one RAM bank (and not the other). I guessed it had to be a supply or ref voltage of some sort, so I measured them. It wasn't even the regulator... Just some chip with an unknown function connected to it. *Removing* it fixed the problem.
