Well it’s that time that I ask you all to comment with pros and cons of the disks you’re using, would you recommend the same to others looking for new disks? Each of the disk manufacturers have now rolled 2 (possibly more) of NAS drives with additional warranties etc. How old are your current...

Good Morning, Here is some context. About two days ago I bought a 8Tb Seagate Ironwolf (S# ZA1EDQRG). First thing I did was Clone all of my Data from a 4Tb Seagate IronWolf, the pool was detached in freenas and and the drive unplugged and kept as an offline backup. During the transfer the 8Tb...

Hello, I have searched a lot in order to find a solution, but nothing since 3 years ago. I have 2 Nas Seagate STDD200 in stock :/ because I prefer to put my data on freenas than seagate OS (cf my 1st message) Two possibility : install Freenas on bay disk (not possible with freenas apparently)...

I'm running six Seagate Constellation ES.3 drives in RAIDZ2 and recently had to replace one due to a high count of unreadable sectors. Now another of my drives is showing a single unreadable sector. I'd feel bad exchanging another drive with the seller so is there any way of repairing the bad...

Hello all, Short summary, I have a FreeNAS setup at home with 4 x 3TB Seagate HDDs in a RAIDZ1 setup and yesterday one of the HDD failed (seems i'm on Santa's naughty list). It starting making ticking noises and when I logged in I got an alert "server state is degraded", I placed it offline to...

After getting my new Seagate IRONWOLF 2TB drive I started running a smart long test and this is the resulting data I got. freenas# smartctl -a /dev/ada3 smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-17, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke...

Hello After a lot of reading, I thought I'd post my plan for my freenas box before buying anything. Motherboard: Asus P10S-I Mini Itx CPU: Intel Core i3 7300 2x16 GB Samsung 2133 MHz ECC DDR4 (From manufacturer QVL) HBA: IBM/Lenovo M1215, to be flashed to IT mode PSU: Seasonic Prime 850 Watt...

I want to build a new RAIDZ2 pool with 10x10TB drives... I plan to use Seagate drives for this. I saw they have some problems with SAS cards, but I want to use them with SATA slots, so I hope it will not be a problem. My question is there are two 10 TB drives, ST10000NM0016 ( Enterprise ) and...

Hey all, So, I'm 4 disks into my "swap all 12 drives in my NAS with larger drives and resilver to grow my ZFS pool" project, and decided to go with 10TB Seagate Helium Enterprise drives (ST10000NM0016) The four drives I have thus far come from two orders of two drives each. Two from Newegg...

Hi, I have issues after replacing WD disks with the Seagate ST10000NM0016 ones in my FreeNAS 11.0-U4 system. The geometry (RAIDZ2 with 8 disks) hasn't changed, I simply replaced the disks with the newer ones. Ever since then, I get periodically errors like (da6:mps2:0:45:0): SYNCHRONIZE...

Hey. So i already have two 4TB Seagate drives. ST4000DM000 - 1F2168. Both Dated ~2013ish. One has 34k POH hours, one has 16k POH hours and they work great, but I want/need at least 1 new 4tb. One. Just one. one. So last week I tried to order _TWO_ more (2 for good luck) NEW identical ones , from...

I'm a newbie to the FreeNAS forums. I've been going through many hardware configurations for my NAS and finally came up with this list. I'm not sure which kind of mini SAS breakout cables to get for this motherboard. I just wanted to get you guys' opinions before I commit to this configuration...

Just ordered in 3 Seagate 2tb hard drives and have dropped them into a Raid-Z config. Been trying to copy from my external HDD over to them to repopulate my media collection on the server, but every time I do, it seems like there's some critical error. The first time I tried plugging the...

Because I'm becoming addicted to building FreeNAS systems, I'm constantly buying hardware. Usually it's on a budget, so I tend to work with what I have, not with what I want. Currently, I'm sitting on a mix of Seagate Constellation drives, pulled from a data-center somewhere. They are a mix...

Hi all. I am sure everyone is aware of the growing sizes of HDD at an exponential rate. While the WD Red Pro have not found a disk > 8tb; Seagate Ironwolf has touched 10tb and HGST (owned by WD) has touched 12. The WD Red come with a 3 year warranty; red pro 5 years; Ironwolf 3y; ironwolf pro 5...

Hello all, regarding to my introduction thread https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/hello-freenas-community.46345/ I have some questions to the recommended drives. My problem is, that I read RAID5/RaidZ1 is dead, because when you lost a drive and want to recreate the data with parity...
