Hi

Bought 6 new WD 16TB Enterprise Sata disk and put them in a old Supermicro X9 MB dual socket Xeon with 32 Gb ECC and LSI 8x in IT mode.
Running truens Scale 22.12.3.3
after a week i got a HDD degraded status in my pool, and i took out the drive and checked the SMART parameteres and i did not show any erros.
did run (long) smart test with no errors.
I put the disk back and resilvered sucsessfull.

A week later the same happend but now another disk failed, i then tough it mayby was the LSI card that was throwing errors in the system and then exchange it with a identical card. ( the LSI card are getting dedicated fan cooling)
Same thing happend again after this and then i switched motherboard and cpu with a ASUS pro wS with xeon 1250P.
But no same thing happend again today..

Can this be PSU related? its an Corsair RM750 with orginal Sata power cables? can the WD drives be incompatible with LSI controller?
i have another system 7x18TB enterprise on a supermicro x10 card and its working like a charm.
The first system (x9) did run 10x HGST 4Tb drives before this, and it was working without any problems.

Did you burn in the drives before putting them in service?

Their have been enough cases of early drive failure that burn in is recommended.


Please list the exact model of each drive, (if different). Then include at least one of the faulty drives "smartctl -a" output.

Their have been known cases where a vendor included a "feature" that was incompatible with ZFS or TrueNAS. For example, adding some power saving feature, even on an Enterprise drive, which caused a delay in response from the drive to a read or write. That then cascaded to ZFS determining the drive to be faulty.

Not saying this is the case, but it HAS happened before.

Other than that, I don't have any suggestions.

The recommended "burn in testing" is much more than simple SMART long tests. Here are some Resources on the subject, (I did not read them...);

Hi,
Thanks for the burn in test suggestions, i as i read on the forums its risky to burn in on storage with data, i am currently running backups now to handel this. But i have now i the last month 6 of 6 drives that have the same errors. Installed truenas core and now i don,t get any errors in the gui resulting in degraded pool, but i se errors in kernel log. Camstatus: Command timeout
READ_FDMA_QUEUED command timeout retrying command 3 more tries remain. Have seen this on all disk over a period of a month. I see that others also in the forum had this errors and there was a bug reportet by the truenas developers in some years ago to handel this in truenas core but i understood this was a problem mounted to SMR drives. But did not find any more information if this is fixed or something that there was issues with CMR drives.
Edit: Changed PSU to Seasonic Prime Titanium 850W

I've filed a suggestion JIRA, asking for a GUI-method to do these burn-ins. It kind of make sense that if it's the general recomended thing to do. And everything outside of the GUI is non-supported. Then this should be available to do within the GUI.
Please feel free to upvote it if you all think it would be useful and good. JIRA NAS-124961

Description
The common recommendation is to “burn in” new drives prior to putting them in production. However, there isn’t really any way to do this in-GUI. Which leads to having to resort to shell commands.

This could be additional options along side the Manual Tests (SMART-tests) for disks . Or even a button/section of its own besides it. It could even be called “Burn In”, or something other apropriate.
