I've been running this DAS box for years now, and only after I upgraded to FreeNAS11 and now having problems (coincidence?).
I have since detached the volume for da11-da21 and also removed another volume with 8? 8TB disks which have also been having issues (I think staying connected or even seeing all the disks on the NAS, they worked fine until around the same time after writing ~8TB to the volume).

The main reason I suspect it's something with hardware is I added a few new 8TB drives after fully testing them and they were having issues around the same time the disks started to show errors. (both volumes were on the same DAS. Later today i will plug in the 8TB disks and update the thread)

The disks on the NAS are acting perfectly fine, i'm only having issues with my DAS.

FreeNAS-11-STABLE

DAS
SUPERMICRO 4U 846
Power board for JBOD
BPN-SAS2-846EL1 (I don't really have $300-400 at the moment to just throw it at another BPN to test/swap)

NAS
supermicro X8DTH
2x E5620
96GB ECC
LSI SAS2008
DAS is connected to NAS via Dell PERC H200E (Already swapped card and cables. could the FW need flashing?)

Here is a snippet of the SMART status

Connected to NAS via Dell PERC H200E (Already swapped card and cables. could the FW need flashing?)
You could give a lot more information about your hardware configuration so someone might be able to get a clue, but just looking at what you did provide, it purely looks like failed drives.

The main reason I suspect it's something with hardware is I added a few new 8TB drives after fully testing them and they were having issues around the same time the disks started to show errors. (both volumes were on the same DAS).

I've added more HW information.

Both controllers were the same model? Is it still the Dell firmware or were these flashed to the LSI firmware?

If these drives have not actually all failed at once, which sounds a bit unlikely, it could be some incompatibility of the controller with the new 8TB drives. You might need to get a new firmware or possibly even a newer chip-set controller. Something like:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAS9207-8E-LSI-8-port-6gb-s-SAS-SATA-TO-PCIe-Host-Bus-Adapter/253413945368

Which is based on the newer LSI SAS 2308 6Gb/s IO Controller

They are both the same model with dell firmware (The one in right now is on Dell 7.15.08.00-IT). The 8TBs were shucked from WD easystore +1 year ago, and I've read that the backplane I use is compatible with the 3.3v. If there is another firmware I could try before buying another card I would be up for it.

If I remember correctly there was an issue with all the drives showing on the DAS one day. I've already selected a few drives before when I was initially having problems and ran some disk tests on the drives that had smart issues and only 1/11 was "I should replace this soon". I have removed the 8TB drives thinking there was a problem with having them on the same box and still get issues like sometimes I don't see all the disks (3TB and 8TB) like 1 or 2 of them each are missing on freenas and then I just have to reboot until I see it.

Yeah. So, you need to cross-flash and update the firmware.

Could’ve happened with the upgrade to 11.0 depending on what you were upgrading from as the sas driver was upgraded in the last few years, and the cards need to be upgraded to suit.

I would look at getting the latest firmware from LSI installed instead of the Dell firmware. The Dell Firmware for the regular H200 is restricted in what it is able to do in comparison to the LSI version.

I think I was on 9.10 then fresh installed to corral and then another fresh install for 11, Ill try flashing the FW to LSI 9211-8i.

I know that i had to update to v20 on my 9211-8 cards back in end of 9 or when 10 was still around, but I did not have 8TB disks back then.
