I built my FreeNAS about 6 years ago and things have been running well. About 6 or 8 months ago, I replaced a failed 6TB drive and then again a couple months ago and now I have another failed drive. The one from a couple months ago is in the same bay as the current one and it might have been the same as the one 6 or 8 months ago, I didn't mark which one failed back then. The point is, I am now questioning either that SATA port on my motherboard so, before I swap out that drive again and maybe switch around the ports drives are plugged into (i only have 6 ports and 6 drives so, I cant exclude the potential bad one), I was thinking of maybe buying a SATA card with ports and then plug the new drive into the card instead of the "bad" port. Any suggestions for cards that will work with FreeNas or other ideas for this situation?
