Hello, Is is OK (in either Core or Scale) to mix different drive models (of the same capatity) in the same pool? I have 4 WD Red Pros and 4 WD Gold drives, each 10 TB in capacity and wish to make a 8 drive Z2 pool. Thanks in advance for any advise! Wojciech

I tried searching for help but couldn't find anything relevant. One of my drives was giving bad sector errors so I swapped it out and let it resilver, which took quite a few hours. Several days later, I noticed the drives were still constantly busy. I realized that I wasn't on the most recent...

I'm pretty good with windows, but a noob in linux etc. While I've read several explanations, I do not adequately understand vdevs, pools or ZFS. I currently run a 4TB + 1TB HDDs as a spanned volume on windows 10 as a home server and run a backup weekly to secondary drives all over my network...

I tried to search for another thread regarding this, as well as Google... but everything i could find sent me to the web admin tools/disks dropdown list. I know my issue is likely related to an ancient 3Ware card, and that I might also have issues with the other 2 options I have. I'm installing...

Hello, I'm building my first NAS and will be running FreeNAS 11. This will be a relatively small build for home use. My plan is to use six WD Red 2TB drives. I had originally thought to build my array with all six drives and use Raid-Z2. My concern with this plan is if I decide to expand...

Installed FreeNAS but it is always detecting only the first 2 drives. I have 4 nos. of 4tb hdds each plugged into lenovo emc pc12-400r. Every time i view the disks tab in FreeNAS i could only find 2 drives from the first two slots. Swap the disks still same problem. Hdds and slots are working...

Hi all, noob here. I was wondering if anyone remembers having this board, it will have an e8500 in it. Manual is here - http://uk.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-X48-DS4-rev-13#support-manual 1) I have a question about the max memory - It's 8Gb and has 4 slots. I'm assuming that means it's 2Gb...
