Due to a recent hardware shuffle I'm playing around with setting one up as a small media server on our home LAN using FreeNAS. Yes it's not the ideal many here would look for (cheap consumer mobo, Athlon II x2 CPU etc) but it's what I have available to test with at the moment.
I've gotten the OS installed on a flash drive and have been working my way through configurations, but I'm running into an issue where after I configure an external USB HDD (ZFS) it eventually manages to somehow corrupt the USB drive, lock up and then on reboot will not get past bios with the drive plugged in. I can unplug it, boot, reformat it and it works again. I haven't run any tests specifically on the drive (any you'd recommend?) but it's a drive I've had a while and hasn't ever had any other issues so I'm not expecting it to be a problem with the drive at this point, but not ruling it out. The drive is a 1TB external WD drive (2.5").
I've not been doing much with it yet and I'm not sure if it's connected but it seems to do it when or not long after I configure plugins in freeNAS (plex and some others).
