Built up my Lenovo TS14o with 3 4TB red drives and set up a Time Machine volume. About every 2 days I'd get a red error and a "zpool status -v" would tell me I had 3 or 4 errors usually on that volume.
After much googling I learned that when I configured and ordered my TS140 I got it with 16GB of non ECC RAM. I ordered up 16GB of ECC unbuffered Crucial RAM listed as compatible with the TS14o by the Crucial website and I've been up and running for 4 days now with no alerts. Also after I did my Time Machine volume and loaded my 3 computers backups on it I scrubbed the volume and set a bi-weekly scrub.
So far so good. Is it somewhat safe to say I'm ready for full deployment here? I've been hesitating deploying all my data on this server until I felt I had a good grip on FreeNAS and had played with it for a while.
I'm beginning to feel pretty confident in this build and somewhat surprised ECC RAM makes this big a difference (yes I've read everything about servers and ECC RAM on the internet). Seems like my web configuration page for FREENAS responds a lot faster as well for some reason.
