Done lots of reading about URE/BER/TLER/etc. & I think I know what I need to do now.
Currently own;
3x 2TB Samsung HD203WI w/ firmware 1AN10003, support SCT control & retain settings through reboot (but not power cycle)
Ordered;
Fractal Array R2 case + power supply
Will order;
3x more 2TB disks that support SCT control & retain settings through reboot - recommendations?
Intel Server Board S1200KP
Xeon E3-1225
8GiB ECC RAM
PCIe controller with at least 2 ports - recommendations?
Intention is to run FreeNAS with the 6x 2TB disks in a ZFS RAID-Z2. Apart from the hardware recommendations (see above) can anybody confirm whether there are any other concerns wrt TLER? Do I simply have to boot linux, use smartctl to set the timeout to 7 seconds, then boot FreeNAS & leave it, or is there anything else I have to do to ensure that in the event of a URE/BER the disk doesn't get dropped?
