please note. this has NOTHING to do with my production machine.... except i am a) out of sata ports atm and b) need to test new hdd, and when test/burn in is complete i will remove 1 disk from my current pool and replacing it with a new disk, for an entirely new pool and basically coping my old pool to my new pool ( with additional disk - going from raid z3:6 disk to raid z3:7disk pool as per cyberjock's thread 7 disk is superior then 6 disk for z3 ( or i may buy a lsi 9211-8i, because i can and use that !..... after burn in ))
that said my current freenas build is 100% irrelevant to my question, hence the lack of equipment list.
if i build a freenas box, from my leftover parts, 100% consumer grade non eec, for just doing HDD burn in/testing is there anything that can fail due to that ??? ( IE the tests would they be invalid ? )
i dont see how as i am testing the writing of the hdds and comparing the results to a known list, but i just am paranoid and want to make sure i am 100% ok.
just to reiterate this the NON eec test build will NEVER be used in production --- and/or can i use this thread / resource and will it work on my PF sense box, which also has 32gb EEC !--( tested- and nope.... )
THANKS SO MUCH !!! for your time !~
